Personal Development or Unit Management Course
In Rover Scouts there are heaps of opportunities to develop leadership and personal skills. Achieving your Milestones, assisting and leading activities, being a Unit Leader, helping out another Scout in the Outdoor Adventure Skills or being a mentor in any part of the program are all some of the different ways you can develop yourself.
For your Baden-Powell Scout Award, you are required to complete Unit Management and/or Personal Development training. Options available for you include attending an internal Scouting course run for Rover Scouts, a state or national extension course such as You+Lead, completion of Leadership training in either Program Support Leader or Youth Program training, or an external personal development course such as RYLA and RYPEN provided by Rotary Australia.
​
Ideally, your Unit Management or Personal Development Course should cover some, or most, of the following concepts: Problem-solving, Communication, Task management, Leadership, Planning and Community involvement.
