Every year, West Sussex Scouts run a number of Instructor courses to train you in the skills needed to safely take members climbing within the framework of the Scout Association’s Adventurous Activity Permit Scheme. Whether you’ve never taken your section climbing before, or are fed up paying for expensive centre instructors, our course structure is designed with everybody in mind. From those that have climbed extensively, to novices that have never set foot on rock before. See below for the course that suites you best.
NB: The dates below are training course. A separate assessment is required for an activity permit. Assessments are arranged on an individual basis as required.
