Young people are being encouraged to get involved in the build-up to the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Organisers believe it can give them confidence and skills to be future leaders, creating a legacy beyond sport for the Games.
A programme called Lead 2014 is being launched today and will involve a series of conferences at Scottish universities, where secondary school children will work with tutors to plan and organise their own sporting event before hosting it at their school.
