Appointment Process

Job Description

Once an adult has been recruited, the first stage of Appointment is to agree a job description with their Group Scout Leader or Commissioner. This should state who they are working with, what they are required to do, how long for and what support is available to them. The adult should then begin a locally agreed programme to induct them into their new role as stated in the Adults in Scouting model, which defines the stages an adult goes through during their time in Scouting.

Necessary forms completed

This includes the Appointment form (AA) and for individuals new to Scouting or returning after a break a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) form which are sent to Headquarters by the District.

Provisional Appointment made

Once the CRB form has been received by HQ, the Appointments sub-Committee Secretary informs the County Training Manager that the new adult needs to start the Adult Training Scheme. At this stage a Provisional Appointment is made. The adult is now ready to begin “pre-Appointment training” – called Getting Started.

Getting Started

Following the issue of the Provisional Appointment, four requirements must be met before the presentation of a Warrant. These can be completed in any order:

Module 01, Essential Information
Module 03, Tools for the Job – Section Leaders or Module 04, Tools for the Job – Managers
