Skills of Management (SOM - LSWR)

Skills of Management Module

Are you on your journey towards your Manager or Supporter Wood Badge?

How do you manage and support amazing leaders delivering an inspiring programme? People are what Scouting is about and the effective skills that can bring them together to deliver great Programme can be learnt and developed.

Do you want to develop your leadership and management skills? What is your current style? How can you build a great team and motivate them to deliver quality programme? Could you be a better communicator and really listen?

This is an opportunity to discuss and practice different skills, network with other new managers and supporters, and gain support for your role. Expect to be actively involved most of the time. There is time set aside for you to plan how you would put this into effect after the course.

Your Skills for Life!

Whilst you will all have different starting points as a manager or supporter, you should have done the relevant independent learning as it is built on during the course. Check out which units relate to this course and work through them at your pace.
