Young Leaders

Gavin and I returned from an informative update from the District Leaders meeting regards Young Leader and Explorer training. It's pretty much what we already knew but I thought I'd jot down a few pointers for our Young Leaders who are actively involved in our sections.

All Young Leaders should complete module A when starting as a Young leader within 3 months! We are addressing this aspect as we speak and hope to have you all up to speed next term.

Once you have completed this training (2 hours) then there are four 'missions' you can carry out in the section in which you help.

Mission 1 - Plan and run 3 indoor meetings for the section. Most of you are already doing this, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Mission 2 - Plan and run 3 outdoor activities (record any badge work covered). Again this isn't to much of a problem as we have Kiplin!

Mission 3 - Plan and run 3 section forums. We haven't done this as yet with YL's, so that's exciting!

Mission 4 - Take responsibility for part of the organisation and running of the section. When we get to this point you'll be fighting us off!

Each of these missions should be fun and give a huge sense of achievement!

Each mission is recognised with a 'bar' that surrounds the YL badge.

The leadership team are now actively getting this structure into place so that YOU can accomplish your missions! (should you choose to accept, bear in mind this blog may self destruct in 5 seconds.......4........3........2.......1........phizzzzz..parp...thruurp...pop.)
