We are leaders in Scouting. We only need a basic amount of info that

Surely the identifying factors cannot change that much over time and
if HQ change the reporting proceedures we don't need a 2 to 8 hour
course to cover that.

Maybe not you and I and present company; I can think of one leader not
so far distant from me who needs somewhat more than a course.

That being the case are you suggesting that there is a problem?
have concerns been raised?

Yes, together with problems with leadership /per se/, along the lines of
'I
don't need training' ... Chorus: 'Oh yes you do!!'.

So the GSL initially and then if necessary the DC and Appts Committee need
to organise an interview on the matter.

Pah! Pigs might fly.

On this subject - I wonder where people stand if the GSL at review decides
basically tells a leader that they are no longer needed within the Group.
A GSL previously has had no or little say in reviews.

What if the whole Group turns on an incompetent or otherwise ineffective
leader?
