Lexden is home to the first Patrol Leader Training Course run in 1959 by Dr Dudley Forde. Since then more than 3400 scouts have participated in 120 courses run by the Lexden Unit.


The Lexden Unit is responsible for youth leadership training and works closely with the RTC Scout Programme in the KZN Region to ensure all the necessary courses, from LDC 1 to PLTU, are run. The Lexden Unit hosts two Patrol Leader Training Courses (PLTC) each year in addition to the PLTU course. The intention is to create cohesive leadership training from the youngest scout attending LDC1 to the senior Patrol Leaders attending PLTU.
