Patrol Leader Training Unit

The Patrol Leader Training Unit (PLTU) is a comprehensive leadership course run for young leaders in the Scout Movement.

The Patrol Leader Training Unit originated at Lexden Training Camp in July 1959. Dudley Forde led the course with 19 Scouts from the 2nd Durban Y.M.C.A. Scout Group in attendance. Since then, PLTU courses have been established in several other centres around the country.
