Learning the basics

When you start volunteering at Scouts, there's plenty to learn! Working through these resources will help you get up to speed on what we do and how we do it.

We ask all our volunteers to complete these simple online courses within the first 5 months of volunteering with us. You can do them in any order and whenever you have the time.

Once you've completed any of these online courses, email your certificate to learning@godalmingscouts.org.uk
