Climbing Permit Instructor Course

This is a non-qualification course designed to teach leaders the skills required for them to obtain a Scout Permit to lead this activity on man made walls and towers.

Candidates on this course will be given clear direction as to how they can then progress to obtain a Scout Permit in this activity.

Please note that this is a training course only and attendance on this course will not automatically give you a Scout Permit for this activity. Assessments for Climbing/Abseiling permits will take place on September 6th, 2025. 

This course is open to any adult members and Young Leaders with or without previous experience of this activity and will include the following:

  • Safety equipment
  • Belaying techniques
  • Setting up ground anchors
  • Coaching techniques
  • Risk assessments
  • Understanding the permit scheme in relation to Climbing

Abseiling is not included in this course. We are running a separate training day for this, please see here.

This course will be run both inside Compa Hall at Kinver Scout Camp and outside on our Climbing tower, 9am-5pm.

The course cost includes refreshments, lunch and overnight camping if required. 

You can book this event via our online Shop (see Book Now button at the bottom of this page).
