Leadership
Leadership is an active process, a set of knowledge, attitudes and skills in working with others toward a common goal. Leadership is an opportunity to develop leadership skills and give of yourself to help others. This project is designed to teach teens to be better leaders through educational experiences, service and practice. After enrolling in the Leadership project, you should cooperatively decide on an area of focus with your leader and agent. You will develop an individualized learning and action plan for leadership development; organize the necessary resources, implement a leadership plan, evaluate outcomes and make changes to improve it.
It may take three years to complete a level. You must complete a minimum of seven activities and five learning experiences each year to complete this project.

Non-Animal Record Books
A Project/Financial Journal is needed for each non-animal related project. Project journals need to contain the name of the project, the year these records were kept, and a leader/parent signature. All sections of the journal need to be completed. If nothing was done in an area or section of a record sheet, the word “none” or something similar should be written.
