There are three skills courses as part of the Leadership and Management Training:

• Produce an effective development plan to identify and promote growth in local Scouting.
• Plan and use effective recruitment techniques.
• Identify situations where change is needed and apply effective change management techniques to local Scouting situations.
• Identify opportunities for flexible volunteering and support, and practice this in the recruitment and retention of adult Members.
