Leader Development Community
The Leader Development Community leads the delivery of all adult training within The Boys’ Brigade.
Introduction
The Leader Development Community is a community of trainers which aims to further enhance the quality of our training in The Boys’ Brigade. It comprises competent, trained ’Leader Development Trainers’, who lead the delivery of all adult training within the Brigade.
- The Leader Training Community has replaced the previous Brigade Training Officers (BTO) network.
- It is a community, rather than a network, which is founded on working together in the spirit of the Brigade, living out its Vision, Mission and Values.
- Members of the community are trained to the same standard to provide a consistent message across the Brigade.
- A Mentors role has been introduced. New or less experienced trainers will be allocated a Mentor, who will help support and encourage them in their role.
- The Leader Development Group is responsible for leader development within The Boys’ Brigade.
Principles of the Leader Development Community
- Our Leader Development Community is a group of passionate people, who hold to the Brigade’s Vision, Mission and Values, working together to improve the quality of youth work delivered in the Brigade through training and the ongoing development of leaders.
- Our community develops in a spirit of togetherness with members of the community encouraged to assist in the development of the skills of other members of the community and the training materials being delivered.
- Our community is built on a level of competence in its members who will be supported through quality materials and resources.
- This is a diverse community, with individuals who offer many different skills and competencies with different experiences of the Brigade and the world around us.
- Recruitment of members of the community will be focused on skill set, ability and potential; members of the community will always be mindful of succession planning, encouraging new/potential members of the community to thrive in our training and development community.
- Members of the community will experience the same quality experience, regardless of where they are based or complete the Leader Development Training course.
