These well-established groups serve what the church calls “junior youth,” or children ages 4-15, and those who are the leaders of these groups are known as Master Guides. But what about the youth ages 16 and over–the “senior youth?”
This is where Ambassadors (ages 16-21) and Young Adults (ages 22-30+) come in–all to be led by a relatively new group called the Senior Youth Leaders. SYL was presented…Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ann-en/~3/YhMLdQI5nBk/
