This year the Boys Brigade Waikato Trust applied the income from its Fund to providing grants that enabled three young men, Joel Chernishov, Jake Guyan and Dylan Young, to attend Stage 1 of Boys Brigade's National Leadership Development Course at Nelson Lakes in July.
Joel reported back that he "liked the way the course forces you to learn through practical challenges".
Jake (in yellow jacket in group shot below) said "All of the teaching sessions where insightful and eye opening in what they made me see in myself as a leader and the way I lead and work within a group".
Dylan said "I had such a great time and learned so many things and really went outside my comfort zone and had a blast. My favourite part was definitely the views. This was my first time in Nelson and I would never imagine how beautiful it truly was, so spending a couple nights with the beautiful sunsets and sunrises was incredible."
