The purpose of the Training Fundamentals Part 2 course is to provide and help develop the platform skills of a trainer. It is meant to supplement the practice offered through Wood Badge and NYLT staff development, with a focus on the participant, while raising the level of skill a trainer brings to the staff experience. 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.

IMPORTANT - PRE-COURSE PREPARATION

Participants must come to this training prepared to make a 10 to 12 minute presentation on a Scouting topic of their choice from any Scouting America material.  Your presentation should allow you to demonstrate the skills of a trainer.  You will receive constructive feedback on your presentation.  Note also, this should not be a speech or a group discussion, but a training presentation.  Examples of topics may include (but are not limited to): knots, fire building, dealing with new parents or ways to sell popcorn, just to name a few. (Any Scouting topic of your choice) The participants should bring any material or equipment they need for their presentation with them to the Training Fundamentals Part 2 course.
