The Program
Explore the 'One Journey, One Program' framework that delivers life skills, leadership, and adventure across all sections of Scouting.
One Journey, One Program
Every Scout has the opportunity to achieve with our program. Our framework One Journey, One Program, features a continuous and progressive series of personal achievements.
The program aims to deliver a consistent developmental structure from Section to Section, providing young people the opportunity to develop their own Scouting Journey. The Achievement Pathways aims to deliver life skills, leadership, and teamwork opportunities, through participation in activities that are adventurous, fun, challenging and inclusive.
Achievement Pathways
The Achievement Pathways consists of:
Program Essentials
Introduces a young person to Scouting and their new Section, ensuring they understand the basics and feel welcome.
Outdoor Adventure Skills (OAS)
A common set of skills across all Sections, including camping, bushwalking, bushcraft, and more specialized activities like alpine, cycling, and water activities.
Special Interest Areas (SIA)
Allows Scouts to set their own goals in areas they are passionate about, such as STEM, Arts, Environment, or Community.
Peak Awards
Each Section has a Peak Award (like the Grey Wolf Award for Cubs or the Australian Scout Award for Scouts) that represents the pinnacle of their achievement in that Section.
