Young Quality Scot Award winners 2008
This year sixteen young people from Highland received the accolade of Young Quality Scot for their contribution to
their communities and twelve of these young people took part in a local training event at Badaguish, near Aviemore,
which involved interactive workshops on team building, leadership and presentation skills. See above photo.
The young people also gave a presentation entitled “Being Young in Highland” at the national celebration event, hosted this year by West Lothian Council on 8th and 9th March 2008.
