The Cadet Leadership 2 course aims to further develop the leadership and team skills of Cadets aged 15+. It is essential that delegates have previously attended Cadet Leadership 1, with a recommended gap of at least six months between the two courses.
This is a general leadership and development programme that should be made available to all young people, not just those seeking promotion. This course should be considered a prerequisite for those being considered for appointment as a leading Cadet.
Attendance on this course counts as a subject in either the Communications or Personal Development arm of the Grand Prior Award Scheme.
This course should be run on a residential basis in order for participants to gain the maximum benefit.
By the end of the course, Cadets will be able to:
- State the different styles of leadership
- Describe the differences between groups and teams
- Describe their role as leaders of young people
- Explain that they will have to work with people with different views and opinions to themselves
- State how to deal effectively with conflict situations
