| Practical Leadership | ||
|
The Boys' Brigade uses different leadership roles and responsibilities
which help the organisation meet its objectives.
As a Queen's Badge Candidate you are asked to show your
commitment through your leadership.
In your own Company there are many jobs waiting to be done.
Assisting with Company Section Programme or Club Night; helping
with the Anchor Boys or Junior Section; helping within your Church as part
of your Company's contribution, are some of the ideas you may want to
explore. Which are you going
to do throughout the next year,
and how are you going to be sure that they have been done to the best of
your abilities?
Remember, attending a Section is not sufficient, you should have
agreed a clear leadership role and been briefed for it by the
officer-in-charge. You should
also seek feedback on your performance to enable learning and improvement
to be achieved.
There are other jobs to be done when you go to camp or some other
residential event. You are
asked to show your leadership qualities there too.
Where will you go?; when?; how will you get there?; who will do the
cooking?; who will organise the games programme?; are all part of running
the event. For this part of
your Queen's Badge programme you have to take your share of
responsibilities.
Leadership skills also have to be learned.
Your Battalion, District, Region and the Brigade, run training
courses and you could go to one of them.
Why did you go?; what was it like?; what did you do?; how did you
rate the course?; these are the kind of questions you need to be thinking
about in this part of “Get
Ahead”. Now complete the rest of this section adding in as many pages as you need to complete your record. Remember that you do not need to write down everything you did; you can add photographs, pictures, maps and drawings to show what you did as a leader.

| Leadership Training Course | ||
|
You should attend an approved course as early as possible for it to be of
benefit. Note that Brigade Leadership courses at Carronvale run early in the session and are often
over-subscribed! Discuss the options with your Captain as soon as
possible, and make sure you are booked on a course.
Your adviser may have details of approved courses, but cannot book / reserve places for you. Further details are available from Carronvale. If preferred, you may choose a specialist course designed to help their leadership in a chosen activity (eg Band, Gymnastics etc). This must be approved in advance by your Adviser.
