Young Leader Development Program
The Young Leader Development Program (YLDP) is a program designed to develop the leadership skills and capacity for youth members aged 16+. The program structure allows participants to interact with other Groups & Teams in Scouts WA to give them a greater understanding of the opportunities they can choose to undertake, whilst fulfilling a leadership role.
These opportunities include:
- Becoming a Youth Program Leader
(This includes completing Scouting Essentials and Scouting Adventure training courses as well as acting as a leader in the Joey Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scout sections) - Optional opportunity to complete a Certificate III in Business
- Optional opportunity to complete a Certificate III in Active Volunteering
Applications to participate in the Young Leader Development Program will open in October/November
The Young Leader Development Program is also on the lookout for Scout Groups that are interested in supporting and hosting YLDP participants – if your Group is interested, or if you have any other questions regarding applying for the program, please contact Leilani Gibson, Branch Commissioner – Young Leader Development Program on bc.yldp@scoutswa.com.au
