For the past couple of years Adventure Kokoda and the RSL Services Clubs Association have been conducting the RSL Kokoda Youth Challenge across the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea. This is a 'peer-group' leadership program for young people within the various communities serviced by RSL and Ex-Service clubs.
The program has been most successful in developing young leaders who have been involved in the program. Early last year it featured on the ABC 'Compass' program.
Details of the program are on our website at

There is a great deal of historical information on the website besides the RSL Youth Challenge Program. This includes historical data on the Kokoda campaign, diggers poems and stories and a roll of veterans at the Bomana War Cemetery.
We were recently listed to the National Library of Australia because of this information.
