The intent of this course is to broaden the understanding that Scouts have of themselves and others, enabling them to recognise and reflect on who they are becoming as young people.

Scouts should gain a deeper understanding of values such as respect, integrity and courage. Through exploring these values and developing their sense of identity, Scouts will grow their confidence to lead others.

During this course, Scouts will:
• Be Respectful
o Reflect on the influence they have on others
o Respect the diversity of others
o Develop support strategies for themselves and others
• Do What is Right
o Develop ethical behaviours
o Use the Plan>Do>Review> cycle to develop and strengthen individual character
• Believe in Myself
o Engage in self-reflection
o Learn more about themselves, especially how it relates to their character
o Understand their developing identity, who they want to be and their relationships with other people

This course has five themes:
1. Values
2. Be Respectful
3. Do What is Right
4. Believe in Myself
5. Character
