(Preparing a Team for the <strong>Everest</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong>)<br />
Introduction:<br />
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every officer on the team was a<br />
mature, responsible, vision oriented young person who liked everyone<br />
else on the team? It would even be better if each person had a<br />
deep trust of all other team members. Rarely, if ever, does this combination<br />
exist, at least in the beginning. Before a group of mountain<br />
climbers take on Mt. <strong>Everest</strong>, they first go through training and<br />
equip themselves with necessary supplies for the climb. In order for<br />
an <strong>FFA</strong> officer team to be effective, they need training and skills to<br />
accomplish their “climb to leadership.” At Training Camp, officers<br />
will design and equip a “Supply Pack” with necessary tools for their<br />
climb. <strong>The</strong>se activities center around creating a “team culture” that<br />
empowers young people to create effective teams and emerge from<br />
this experience as stronger leaders.<br />
