Young Leos shaping up to be our future leaders
A new joint initiative between Outward Bound and Australian Lions Clubs will see young members of the Lions’ youth division, Leos, develop practical leadership skills to help them become positive role models and leaders in their communities.
The new three-day Outward Bound program for Leos aged 15 to 17 will reinforce and strengthen key attributes of Leos members such as resilience, responsibility, service and teamwork through outdoor experiential challenges.
With a key focus on the Leo acronym Leadership, Experience, Opportunity, the new program has been designed by Outward Bound to provide a key component of the development of Leos members - not only as the future of Lions Clubs, but as leaders who understand the value in contributing to the community.
What is it?
A three-day program that has been specially designed for Leos by Outward Bound Australia to help develop practical skills in leadership. This is a fantastic opportunity endorsed by Lions Clubs across Australia.
Who is it for?
Leos of Australia aged between 15 and 17 or talk to us about opportunities for other age groups.
Where is it?
The beautiful Australian bush in one of Outward Bound’s four spectacular operational areas: Namadgi National Park (ACT), Snowy Mountains National Park (VIC), Night Cap National Park (NNSW/SEQLD), and Walpole National Park (WA).
**The first Leos course will be held out of our National Base in Namadgi National Park.
When is it?
Three days at some point throughout the year, normally over the school holidays or a long weekend. The first Leos course will be from 23-25 January 2012
Why do it?
Each Leo will come away with more self-confidence and great practical leadership skills that will last a lifetime!
What does it cost?
At a cost of $500 this is a great deal! Talk to your local Lions Club about sponsorship!
If you know of any young Leos with a desire to become a leader, you can help them develop their potential by inviting their club to sponsor them on the Outward Bound program.To download an application form click here, or you can get in touch with our Leos and Outward Bound representatives for further information.
