Completing your Award

  • Must be over the age of 18.
  • Should not be an immediate family member. 
  • Must have a valid Working With Children's Check as required by Scouts Victoria. 

Goal Setting

Make sure to choose a S.M.A.R.T goal. S.M.A.R.T goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound. 

Record Keeping

The Online Record Book (ORB) is an online system to help Participants, Award Leaders and Assessors doing, delivering and assessing the Award. It is where Participants can set up activities, record their efforts, upload evidence and submit assessor reports. Award Leaders can monitor progress behind the scenes, and help if required. It can be used online, or search for the ORB Leader app in your app store.
