Youth Committee report to the remote ZOOM Council meeting 19 March 2020

The Youth Services Committee intends to implement the following programme during the Year 2017-2018: -

• It is intended with the help of Young Carers to select candidates for Challenge Enterprise

• Each Year the Club invites two pupils accompanied by a staff member from each of the local High Schools to talk of their involvement in Community Service. This is intended for March 2018
• The Club has two Candidates from Young Carers for this year's RYLA event in July. The pair will address the Club at a later date on their experience.
• The Primary Schools Quiz will be organised this year in a different format in an effort to encourage more schools to participate. This is envisaged to take place in March 2018
• Young Musician Competition in association with the "Faw Kirk"
• Eco Awareness Competition this year with the emphasis on litter and waste management. The initiative will be recognising the ethos of "Zero Waste Scotland"

            

ECO AWARENESS COMPETITION

This year the Eco Awareness competition took on a new look with submissions being made on a USB stick. The presentations were judged by the panel consisting of Jean Weir, acting chair of CATCA, Iain Harries Falkirk Council Waste Management Services and of course Bill Laurie.

It was a hard fought battle with many teams taking part and as they awaited the judges decision the teams were keen to discuss their entries.

In the end Windsor Park took the Laurels

With Victoria taking the runners up place

While Carmuirs and St Andrews shared third place.

All in All an extremely successful competition that left everyone so much more ECO Aware.
