The PLTU courses are one of the finest challenges on the South African Scouting calendar. Exciting outdoor activities support the specialised leadership training you will receive during ten tough, but achievement filled, days.

The courses are staffed by fellow Scouts and Scouters/Rovers who have previously risen to the PLTU challenge. Attend one of these stimulating adventure courses and learn the skills that will make you far more effective leaders, both in your Patrols and in your everyday life. What you learn will benefit you long after the course has ended.

For more info on PLTU please see the Youth Leadership Training page.
