Level
of Leader
With
the changes that have occurred within Scout Adventurous Activities,
and Competency Based Training, the various levels of Abseil Leaders
have undergone a series of changes. The title by which the various
levels are known now reflect the National Standard (SRO-05) based
on that competency as does our training. This area denotes the
current levels and the roles and responsibilities of these levels.
Due
to the adoption of the new National Abseiling Standards all Current
Abseiling Instructors must requalify with the New Scouts Australia
Topic 7 & 9 Common Core module, run separately to VBAC Training
Courses.
