“Train the Trainer” - Fundamentals of Training and the Trainer's EDGE

Date: Saturday, March 14, 2020

Time: 8:00 am to 5:30 pm

Location: William Lyon Homes Center for Scouting, 1211 East Dyer Road, Santa Ana, CA

All council and district training committee members who will be delivering training on all phases of the Scouting program should attend and is required for Wood Badge and NYLT staff.

The course’s purpose is to introduce teaching techniques and skills to new Scout trainers as well as help those Scouters, regardless of their experience, present effective training. It will also help those who may have trained for other organizations learn the BSA’s training techniques and will help “freshen up” the skills of current BSA trainers while providing an increased familiarity with the EDGE model that is used throughout the training. 

Only practice can polish these skills, but this course is intended to “train the trainer” on behaviors and resources while offering hands-on experience in methods and media.

Each participant will give an evaluated presentation in front of a group. Remember, Feedback is a Gift...we want to make sure that it is provided in a positive, helpful manner.  PLEASE COME PREPARED TO GIVE A 10-12 MINUTE PRESENTATION ON A SCOUT RELATED TOPIC OF YOUR CHOICE. This will be evaluated as part of the course activities. Upon registration further information will be sent via e-mail.

Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. Feel free to bring any personal food or non-alcoholic beverages you would like.  Any special dietary needs must be relayed to the Course Staff at least one week prior to the course.
