James E. West, the first Chief Scout Executive, was asked in the early days of Scouting, to identify the three most important needs of the young Scout organization. After careful thought, Mr. West responded, “Training, more training and still more training.” Training continues to be a top priority of the Boy Scouts of America today.

The Trainers EDGE is for all adult and youth interested in helping with training Scout leaders and youth. This course will give you the tools to present an effective and exciting training event. This course is intended to “train the trainer” on behaviors and resources while offering hands-on experience in methods and media. You will learn the “do’s and don’ts” of professional training, all while having fun!! These courses incorporate numerous contemporary training techniques and emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, or “learning by doing.” The training sessions not only demonstrate good training methods, but give participants an opportunity to interact and practice what they have learned.
