Queen's Scout Portfolio of Evidence
This document is an example of what is expected for a Queen's Scout Folio to accompany the Record Book when presenting at District/Zone. Too many Venturers produce "War and Peace" and add everything in their folio, which is not necessary.
Queen's Scout Presentation Toolkit
Earning the Queen's Scout Award is the pinnacle of a Venturer's journey in the Unit.
Presentations typically happen in a ceremony held at the home Group or Unit hall and it is a very special time for the Venturer, their parents and their peers.
To help Venturers plan the event here are some resources as a 'grab bag of ideas' you can download and modify:
- Queen's Scout Ceremony Planning List - everything you will need to organise a successful QS Presentation
- Key Words for Queen's Scout Presentations - all those parts in the ceremony with correct wording
- NEW> Queen's Scout Presentation Running Sheet Template - a step by step plan for a polished presentation
- Queen's Scout Award Presentation Ceremony - powerpoint for planning and gathering a QS ceremony
