Patrol Leader Training Course:

The PLTC is designed to provide intermediate Patrol Leader training to PLs and APLs and is an optional requirement for First Class in the Scout Programme.

PLTC should ideally be attended by PLs and APLs who are about to or have just embarked on their First Class. The course focuses on leadership opportunities and experiences, as well as camp, hike and project planning, among other skills and theory.

PLTC courses are currently run at a Regional level.

 

Patrol Leader Training Unit:

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.
