Describes the underlying Principles, Aims, Methods, and Content, Evaluation Instruments, Organizational Structure, and perhaps most importantly, the Spirit and Traditions that make the program distinctive and leave a lasting impression in young people's hearts. Also includes a sample Program Year Calendar for a youth leadership development camp. Learn about the heart and soul of the program: the principles, like The Manager of Learning Method, and The Evaluation Attitude that sustain the program and which you can adapt for your youth.

White Stag has been presenting week-long leadership development camp for youth ages 11-18 since 1958. In that time we have literally trained thousands of individuals in the competencies of leadership, all supported soley by volunteers. One National BSA Area III evaluator called the program a "useful and well prepared course. A close look by other councils may help them to upgrade their own courses. My highest certification and congratulations for a course well done." This book puts together the elements necessary to help you plan and present a quality youth leadership development program.
