During the Practical Skills Module (18), you will be given the opportunity to teach a practical skill to one of the other participants. In return, you will also have the opportunity to learn a practical skill. You may choose to teach any practical skill that you wish. It might for example be a skill used in your job or as part of a hobby or other interest. If possible please try to avoid choosing typical ‘Scouting’ skills. When deciding what skill to teach you should consider the following issues:

• You will have 30 minutes to teach your practical skill, with 10 minutes in which to prepare; the skill you choose must occupy the whole of the allocated time;

• The skill you teach must be “hands on” and require a demonstration; it should not be a simple taking exercise; • You will be teaching your skill to one other participant;

• Your teaching method should give the “learner” the opportunity to have a go; • You will need to bring with you any equipment, materials or other resources you require, both for your demonstration and for your learner. If you are uncertain what skill may be suitable or have any questions or difficulties please contact: Mark Strain mark.strain@scoutshw.org.uk

A buffet lunch will be provided for those staying for Module 19 in the afternoon
