Young Leader Award for Ben, Matt & Will

Report Date 11/12/14

The young leader Award is available to any young person aged between 14 and 18 who would like to help Scouting in a Leadership role. They may also be part of our Explorer Unit if they wish.

To complete the award an individual has to complete 11 training modules including First Response, programme planning, challenging behaviour, training techniques with others that give them an in depth understanding of the Scouting training programme for the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

In addition each Young Leader will spend at least 3 months working with one of the younger sections and take the responsibility for organising and executing 3 indoor and 3 outdoor activities

Ben Day has been helping with Lion Scout Troop for the past two years with the Leaders full of praise for all he does. Ben also played a major part in out Birthday Camp running some of the activities for all attendees.

Matt King and Will Kenny have been working with Redwood Beavers as well as being active members of the Explorer unit. The Leaders commented how reliable both have been and the Beavers think they are just great!!

It was really good to see Ben, Matt and Will receive their Young Leader Belts from Mandy Hawke who coordinates the award for those on Hayling Island.
