Almost every infantry division of the Philippine Army runs some sort of youth training camp as way of building rapport with local youth, educating them of the dangers of communist propaganda/recruitment, and providing them a supervised outlet for their talents and energy. This appears to be an example of the positive outcomes of such youth leadership training.
