I purchased a copy of the latest Young Leader Essentials when it was released last year, to find that the only real difference was that it was a bound book rather than loose leaf. Personally I prefer the loose leaf as you can open a ring binder at a page and it doesn't try to close up! Also some of the pages in the bound book have already started to pop out from the binding.

I didn't have a copy before and I agree its good but I don't like the format.. One of the dads took it to work and guillotined the binding off then hole punched if for me :-)

I am seriously thinking about asking him to do the same for the three new books.

I also have "Going Green" and "Urban Adventure" which I believe are no longer available and of course the Leadership training pack.

This gives us good stuff for Service, Skills, Physical Activities, Environment, all we need now is a good expedition guide!
