Other Activity Providers
You may not always be able to attend the County Activity Courses or you might want to learn some additional skills or try out a new
activity at your own convenience. To help you do this we list below several courses that are provided by Activity Centres around the Country. You will
need to ring the relevant Centre to find out more details about, or to book onto, these Courses and it should be stressed that these are Courses
provided by independent Activity Centres which are not part of the Scout Association. These courses will provide you with new skills or update your
existing skills but you will still need to be formally assessed for the relevant activity authorisation.
