Adult Leaders will play a critical role as mentors and coaches throughout each Scouts journey – to teach important skills and to Mentor the teaching and assessment between Youth Members. When the NYP is fully implemented, it is expected that only Youth Members will assess other Youth Members.
To help guide our Leaders, a matrix is attached that outlines the Stages for which they can act as a mentor, based on the level of Adult Leader training and Adventurous Activity training they have completed. It is expected that a Leader who has completed their Basic Outdoor Skills (BOS) course will have the skills needed to mentor Scouts to achieving Stages 1 to 4 in the Core Areas.
