and challenging activities for young people aged 11 to 16. |

and an awareness of the need for, and benefits of volunteerism
- Enhance personal values such as commitment, responsibility
and respect for self and others

volunteer involvement, whilst making a proactive contribution
to the safety and well being of Victorian communities
Brigades provide a balance of
activities that cover the four program elements of:
- Social and recreational development
