A new and updated Program Glossary of Terms is now available on pr.scouts.com.au

This resource helps you to understand the language of the youth program and is worth having on hand as a quick reference guide.

This update makes a number of improvements:

  • New terms are added,
  • Old terms are removed,
  • Some terms are rewritten and clarified,
  • Newer program language is included,
  • Peak award names are updated; and
  • corrections are made in line with the document “How To Write The Language of the Program“.
