Fundamentals of Training
- Participant Registration -
Participants: Adults and Scouts BSA/Venturing Youth
Registration closes the Monday prior to each session date
- No Walk-Ins -
The purpose of the Fundamentals of Training course is to provide help to develop the platform skills of a trainer. Whether you are training in your unit or in one of the advanced leadership development programs, FOT can help you become more confident and provide you with tools to make your training sessions more engaging. 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.
