Why we need to improve how we learn?

In our research, you’ve told us very clearly that most volunteers don’t find the current training scheme lives up to what our volunteers need.  

It’s not meeting the needs and requirements of our ever-changing Scout movement. We want learning to be relevant, valuable and personalised to our volunteers. We want your learning to actively connect to the things you do when you volunteer. 

• We have too many roles, which can be unmanageable, fixed and too often feel like work.   
• They can be hard to understand, and expectations when someone joins or moves role are often unclear. They can put people off from joining - ‘I couldn’t do what you do.’ 
• We have a few people with lots of responsibility (and stress) placed on them. This can often make volunteering tip into feeling like work.
