Forester Badge 2017
In 2017 there will be two Forester Badge courses run at Broadstone Warren. We will be running:
Ø Forester Badge course (for those who have not done the course before) on 27th to 29 th October 2017.
Ø Forester Instructors course (for those who have completed a Forester Badge course) on 27th October – 29th October 2017. This will be run alongside the Forester Badge Course, but will look at forestry in greater depth and will include elements on instructing skills.
Registration for each course commences from 7.30pm on the Friday evening, and the course starts at 8pm. The course concludes on Sunday at 4pm with a presentation of certificates. Parents, guardians and leaders are invited to attend this.
The cost of each weekend will be £48.50 per person, and this will cover all tuition, indoor accommodation, food and equipment.
The Forester Badge that is run by Broadstone Warren is an intensive course that involves hard work of a physical nature, and is not suitable for younger Scouts. As a result all participants must be at least 11 years of age. Applicants for the instructor course must be at least 12 ½ years old. Both courses are open to Explorer Scouts.
At the end of the course, successful participants will be awarded with a certificate. This should be passed to their Leader who will award the badge. Any participant who does not complete the course will be informed of how they need to improve before the badge can be awarded.
To book a place on either course please complete the attached form, and return it with the fee (cheques payable to Broadstone Warren) by 14th October 2017. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Only completed forms which include payment will be accepted. Incomplete forms, or any received without payment or after the date above will be returned.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We look forward to receiving your form and payment, and seeing you on the course.
