I’m just about to leave Scouts, can I start being a Young Leader straight away? By admin112358 on In / 0 comments Yes! You can start your Young Leader Training straight away and if you are planning to join a Beaver or Cub unit, you can join them as soon as you are ready. If you want to help with a Scout Troop, you can start the training immediately, but must have a six-month break before you return to the Scout section as a Young Leader.
