Young Leaders' Network - Edinburgh, Leith & District

What is Young Leaders Network?

•A network for Seniors & Young Leaders within the BB

•Fun, adventure, fellowship and development

•Like minded individuals of a similar age

•Began nationally, but now more localised

From National to Battalion…

Began through BB Scotland to address falling numbers of Seniors

A number of new events are now a major part of the calendar

Due to success, a number of Battalions have started a local YLN

- Strathkelvin

- Glasgow

- Stirling

How to organise & run a YLN…

Not a one size fits all!! However, key points are common throughout:

•Ask don’t assume

•Outsource – get advice

•The availability of funding…

“a rainy-day fund”

•Communication

•Regular calendar & something to look forward to

What activities can YLN do?

The young people must be empowered in the decision making.

Should reflect a range of interests:

•Get-together with food

•Comedy gigs

•Adventurous activities

•Challenge Plus Events

•International Development

•Limited only by imagination…

What about awards?

How do I find out more?
