Youth Camp and Exchange Program Youth Camp and Exchange Program
	'Youth Exchange - By Lions For Lions'
The District has taken some steps to improve the current YE programme for the benefits of Lions as follows: As Youth Exchange is a program of Lions, priority will be given to Lion members as "Host Family" and for Outbound Youth Exchange, priority will also be given to Lions' Children for the Leos. (Quota of 20% will be allocated to the public if necessary). The District Chairperson for Youth Exchange (Lion Alan Yoong) will have to compile a list of all Lions who are keen to be 'Host Family' and also Lions who are interested to enrol their Children or Leos for the Outbound YE program before October 2009 for future selections. During the new fiscal year 2009-2010, the District will refund the RM100 levy fee (Application fee) to all unsuccessful Applicants effective July 2009. All dates for YE (Inbound and Outbound) and successful Applicants will be posted in the District's website for reference. All Lions who are in the Travel Industry are given the first priority to quote for all Travel Arrangements, Ticketing and Logistic through an 'Open Tender System'. The District Chairperson for Youth Exchange will compile the 'Hosting Family Daily Itinerary Report' to the District upon their completion of their hosting. All Youth Exchangees to give Report and Comment to District Chairperson for 'Host Family' assessment.
