Here is a brief description of TEAM:
- Safe Guide– Guiding has one mandatory training that all new adult Members must complete within 6 months of their join date. Safe Guide is our organization's risk management tool. It provides a consistent process for planning and implementing safe Guiding activities.
TEAM has five streams. Each is specialized to meet the training needs of Members based on their position. All streams are open to all adult Members. A TEAM pin of the appropriate colour is awarded upon completion of the Foundation modules in each stream.
