The Leaders and Helpers

Each Section will have its own Leaders, usually a Section Leader supported by Assistant Section Leader(s) together with helpers and instructors.

• BSL - Beaver Scout Leader
• ABSL - Assistant Beaver Scout Leader
• CSL - Cub Scout Leader
• ACSL - Assistant Cub Scout Leader

  Leaders in the Cub Scout Pack use names drawn from Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. The CSL is called ‘Akela' and the Assistant Leaders use the names of other characters: Baloo, Hathi, Kaa, Rikki and so on.

• SL - Scout Leader
• ASL - Assistant Scout Leader

  In many Troops it is traditional that the Scout Leader is called ‘Skip’. Nowadays, the leader is called by his or her christian name.

• ESL - Explorer Scout Leader
• AESL - Assistant Explorer Scout Leader

The terms Leader and Scouter are both used to describe those adults who hold a Warrant. The warrant is the appointment card that is given to those who accept the appointment as a uniformed Leader. Such appointments are made by the Scout District.

Other adults may be Helpers or Skills Instructors. Helpers usually provide general help to a section on a regular basis whilst Skills Instructors provide more specialised support. Both are issued with Certificates of Appointment.
