available opportunities
2nd Bothwell Scouts are the only Scottish Scout Troop that we are aware of that runs a Forest School Programme and who have their very own Level Three Forest School Practioner.
An opportunity has become available for Level One Forest School Training course which is accredited by the Open College Network.
This level of training is to give an introduction to the concept of Forest School. The training takes place over 2 days and students are required to observe a Forest School session run by a qualified leader and to complete the short coursework portfolio with mentoring from the tutors in order to get a certificate. There will also be a further 1 day mentoring session which will be organised with the group once the 2 day training course is complete.
