  4. Over a two month period, complete the first phase of the training "Guiding Adventure". Here you will learn Leadership and people skills
  5. Team up with a project patrol for your practical in the field skills and training. You will be given personal mentors to help you through this phase.

  7. Run an additional number of Adventerous activities while under the program in order to hone your skills and contribute to scouting in general. 

This is an EOI and as such does not guarantee acceptance into the program. All EOI will be reviewed by an independant  panel of  AA Guides, Leader Trainers and Assessors.

This is a great opportunity to fast track your training and learn some great skills from some of Scoutings best trainers and Activity people.
