Outdoor Adventure Skills Resources for Leaders
What Can I do?
What can I Do? A guide to provide Leaders with an understanding of: -
- The Adventurous Activities that can be delivered in Victoria within the program by a Leader with a Certificate of Proficiency.
- When and what Adventurous Activity qualifications are necessary for delivering activities.
-
As well as supporting the core skill areas, we need to expand the opportunities for Scouts and adults to learn new Outdoor Adventure Skills and/or have their existing outdoor adventure skills recognised.
Many of our Outdoor Adventure Skills Stages, including some within Stages 1 to 3 require adults or Leaders with a Safe Participant or Trained Participant qualification to: -
- Mentor (where the Leader or Subject Matter Expert provides support including skills instruction, guidance on conducting activities and feedback on areas to work on) or
- Verify Stage Progression (where the Leader or Subject Matter Expert verifies the youth member’s progression against the ‘I’ statements in a particular Stage).
To find out how you can have your outdoor activity skills recognised, review the Our Recognising Safe Participant & Trained Participant Skills flowchart.
