In scouting, growth comes through both theoretical and practical training.

Leader Development Courses
These are the courses that authorise Scout leaders to run activities.
Leader Trainer Courses
These are the courses and seminars held at the level of training Scout leaders.

The Leadership Path
Adult Entry
The first step into the organisation. It is the proficiency everyone over the age of 18 must complete; on completion you become a Scouting Volunteer. Equipment lists, the Basic Leadership Course and proficiencies that can be completed over time all open after this step. As a scouting volunteer you may assist and support leaders at camps and take part in TIFAKE courses and activities. Being a scouting volunteer is not leadership: for that you must hold a licence, have a unit of your own and have a mentor senior to you.

The Leadership Path
Basic Leadership Course 1 and 2
The Basic Leadership Course. Course 1 is for those coming from scouting: it is open to people who obtained their licence at least six months earlier and completed the required items during their time as Scouts. Course 2 is for those new to scouting; those who obtain a licence, join a club, have a mentor appointed and complete the Adult Entry proficiency attend a six-night camping course. On arrival at the course a detailed interview is held to confirm that the requirements were genuinely carried out; those who fail are not admitted. A high-school diploma is also required for the leadership course.
