“Our prime aim is to develop the youth of Maleny and district and give them improved skills in leadership, teamwork and communication, Officer in charge Jon Gutke said..
“We achieve this by way of training in many areas, mainly with a maritime basis, for example in sailing, canoeing, seamanship, camping and other sports.
