Leader Training and Assessment for Climbing.
To facilitate the usage of the Andrew Coleman Memorial Climbing Tower at Earleywood and to help give more Scouts more opportunity to climb, we will be running an instructor course to train leaders for their climbing permits.
If you are interested in taking Scouts climbing but are not yet permitted to do so this may be ideal for you. The course will be run at Earleywood on Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm starting on the 11th of March. This course is initially set to run for eight weeks but depending on prior experience, individuals may be pronounced ready for assessment in a shorter period.

There will be a meeting on the 4th March for all those interested in
getting, extending or renewing their climbing permit or authorisation. This initial meeting will be mostly aimed at a two way exchange of information where we can explain the flavours of permit available and where we can find out which sets of people want to do what and where they are at. Explorer scouts with climbing experience will also be welcome to attend this meeting.
There might be an opportunity to climb during the evening weather permitting though the main emphasis will be information exchange.
We will be meeting from 6:30pm for a 7pm start.

There will be a cost involved to cover the wall and equipment of £5 per evening. There is likely to be some measure of funding assistance from County as this would be come under adult training. More details on Tuesday.

Any prior question email/phone me otherwise Tuesday is intended for questions and answers.
