Scout Leadership / Personal Development Course

The Leadership or Personal Development course allows a Scout to put into practice, and develop skills learnt during their time in the section.

Scouts may choose to undertake a Scout run course, a state or national course like You+Lead or an external course like RYLA and RYPEN, with content covering problem-solving, communication, task management, leadership, planning and community involvement.

Attending a Scout Leadership Course

Leadership courses aren’t only for those Scouts doing their Peak Awards.

Scouts should undertake the course after the commencement of Milestone 3 (part of the New Youth Program) or during their 3rd year in the section.
