About Crowdy Head SLSC Junior Patrolling Members
Crowdy Head SLSC Junior patrolling members make up approx. 25% of our patrolling members. Aged between 15-21 years of age they begin their patrolling years with our club but are generally lost to the club or organisation when they leave high school in pursuit of university education often in metropolitan areas. Each year we send a contingent of these members to the SLSLNC Junior development camp. This camp provides networking and skill building opportunities for these young adults that can be used to assist them with contributing more to the fabric and value of our club as a whole.
Value to the Community
The contribution of these young members to our club and the local community is enormous. in the 60 years our club has existed we have never had a drowning death in our patrolled area and the contribution of these members whom make up 025% of our membership is enormous. There cannot be a monetary value placed on such volunteerism and commitment.
Why the funds are needed
These funds are needed to assist our young members in gaining exposure and experience that will assist them in their future endeavours as patrolling members and positive contributors to their communities. The money will be spent on sending these members to the annual junior development camp. Exposure to this camp provides an opportunity to network with other like minded individuals from other clubs, share ideas and encourage personal development and growth that can be brought back to our club and help create and promote opportunities for member recruitment and retention.
