The A1 (Activity Notification) form has undergone a number of changes recently. These are in reaction to recent decisions and recommendations from the Coroner and the courts. The aim of these changes is to minimise the legal risk for leaders. In order to achieve minimisation or mitigate the legal risk the A1 form must be used correctly. The attached guide and presentation will help leaders to understand the use of the A1 form. They can also be used to educate leaders, Scouts and parents as to the correct procedures for activities.

To ensure that you have the latest version of the A1 form you should always download the latest version rather than reuse an existing one.

A number of the Scouts who attended the ASLC (Advanced Scout Leadership Course) have sent us their thoughts on the event. These are very positive which is a good sign for the future of the advanced course.

“Scouts Australia is generously offering ADF families easier access to the range of scouting activities and programs, fee waivers on transfer, and comfort in the continuity of a leading and supportive youth development program that is available in almost all communities in Australia,” Mr Snowdon said.

“In exchange, Defence Families of Australia will encourage ADF families to take part in the scouting movement, recognising that Defence children can bring diversity to local scout groups and that their ADF parents may contribute a range of skills and experience to support youth development activities.”
