A new resource has been developed to support Scouts, their youth and adult leaders, and parents, to guage when to begin their transition to the next age section.
These guides help you to explore the Educational Objectives of the age section when considering transition to the next section.
The items in the checklists are based on the SPICES I… Statements, as well as other indicators that individuals can use to determine readiness.
The checklist provides guidance as to when a young person is ready to change, and each dot point should involve a conversation with the Scout. However, this should not be the only thing used to inform the decision.
The Scout themselves, and their immediate circle of friends, family, and fellow Scouts know them the best and should be a part of the decision about when to begin transition.
