Work out what activities you can lead

  • You can run activities based on:
    • your qualifications
    • the risk of the activity
    • the activity conditions
    • the ability of the participants, and
    • how you will supervise the participants
  • If you are an adult (excluding Rover Scouts), you must have, at minimum, a Certificate of Proficiency or have a leader with you who has an Adult Appointment.
  • You can run a Rover Scout activity based on your Rover Scout appointment if you are a Rover Scout.
  • Look at “What Activities I Can Run?” for details.
  • If you do not have the qualifications and want to gain them, please refer to Get Qualified. Check out the list in the Qualifications Listing folder on Teams to find your qualifications (you need to know your Scout Number and be a NSW Scout Leader with Office 365 to gain access).
  • There are many other qualified Adventurous Activity Leaders, including Adventurous Activity Guides, in NSW. Please refer to the lists of qualified leaders, including the NSW Guide List in the Qualifications Listing folder on Teams, to find the names and activity disciplines of the Guides in NSW. You need to know your Scout Number and be a NSW Scout Leader with Office 365 to gain access.
