Do you need any special training to use the scheme?

Our Pioneer Scheme © has 6 main areas of learning and 2 optional areas of learning: fire-pit activities and tool tasks. For the 6 main areas of learning, if you are familiar with leading groups, you will be able to follow the scheme. For the two optional units, qualifications and experience in using tools and fire both independently and with groups should be sought before following these objectives.

Our Teacher/ Leader Subscription also includes a vast library of policies, procedures, risk assessments, outdoor skills & knowledge guides, which will help you to follow the scheme safely and effectively.

We can offer training for these two practical units and all other areas of outdoor learning in our courses and services section. Contact us for future dates and details of training HERE.

How do we fit the scheme into our school's curriculum?

Our Pioneer Scheme is written by our co-director Alex, a highly qualified teacher and outdoor practitioner with experience in implementing outdoor learning into a variety of settings and with a variety of age ranges.

The Pioneer scheme objectives are written so they can easily be applied to your school’s current schemes of work.

Each level consists of a topic each half term; 4 sessions per topic; and supporting activities as starters, extensions and plenaries. Full curriculum links are provided for every activity. That’s 240 sessions within The Pioneer Scheme, (not to mention over 1,500 other ‘free choice’ resources as part of the teacher/ leader membership!)
