Leo's enjoy
opportunities to experience life's many challenges, and want to
learn from those experiences. They are young people who like to have
fun, and at the same time help those less fortunate than themselves.
Leo's are alive, aware, caring, interested in personal development,
prepared to help, and our Leaders of tomorrow. Typical projects
include the environment, helping the elderly, the infirm and the
young, fundraising for those in need, and assisting the Lions Clubs
and other service organisations with youthful enthusiasm.
