one step at a time

The New Youth Program has been developed to ensure that the activities, programs, challenges and outcomes of Scouting in Australia remain relevant to our Youth Members now and into the future.

The New Youth Program is made up of many exciting elements, all working together the form a Program that is developmental, and provides one exciting journey over the 5 Sections.

Queensland will be progressively implementing the different elements of the New Youth Program in layers, so that we can all focus on one element at a time, and help each other as we go. We know some will be keen to do more, however we have built this approach to best prepare our teams to support the New Program.

The elements build on one another, and will initially run alongside our current program and award scheme. In time, they will begin to replace parts of the current award scheme.

We have built this plan on the following basis:

• No Youth Member will be disadvantaged in their badgework by the transition
• Current Youth Members will have a choice to transition or finish their current peak award
• District/Region Training Meeting's and digital forums will be used to support the roll out
• Teams have time to learn about each element as it is introduced, and prepare for the next
