As a remind

Spain is a Country with 17 Autonomous Regions (autonomous governments). ASDE is a Scout Organization which is made up of one Scout Association per Autonomous Region.
Every Scout Association has formulated their own non-formal training system At the same time, each Autonomous Region has its own laws about the training, recognition and minimum qualification for camping and make outdoor activities.

2 PATHS:

Every Autonomous Region has got different rules about how to get the Leisure Time instructor Certificate

ASDE counts with its own non-formal educational system framework from which each Association designs its own training system . Aim of ASDE: To train the scout leaders. Its curriculum contains scout values, knowledge and skills only. Named Federal Scout Training System. Aim of every Scout Association: To formulate a Training system based on 2 curriculums: The scout curriculum, inspired on Federal Scout Training System and The legal curriculum of the Autonomous Regions.

This certificate is absolutely necessary if you want to camp and make outdoor activities. But not every certificate is valid for every Autonomous Region.

INCUAL tries to include the Leisure Time Instructor into the National Catalogue. In 2007, a workgroup was set up in order to design this professional qualification, valid for whole nation. This workgroup is composed by several Institutions and NGOs, one of them is ASDE.
