The Archery Leadership Permit course is designed to train and assess leaders to deliver fun and safe introductory archery sessions within Scouting. Led by a qualified Archery Permit Assessor, this course ensures you're equipped with the skills and knowledge you need.

The training you'll receive over the two days is practical, hands-on and takes place outdoors at Broadstone Warren. No prior archery experience is required, and all equipment will be provided. Just bring your enthusiasm to learn!

Successful completion of the course will result in a recommendation for a permit, but the permit itself is granted locally. Permits can be restricted depending on individual performance so that archery can still be delivered, but only under specific circumstances.
