Troop Leadership Training is happening in November for our troop (more here ). In a very timely email, this link appeared from the email ether: Troop Positions of Responsibility The following leadership positions count toward Boy Scout advancement. For more information, see the Senior Patrol Leader Handbook (#32501) and Patrol Leader Handbook (#32502A).
1 Vote On Idea So we all know that Youth Protection Training (YPT) expires every two years and with out YPT you're not a trained leader. In the Council I serve, many adults will take YPT, and the other training courses and say "PHEW!!
Senior Patrol Leader elections were last week with an 8th grade Life scout taking the reins for the next 6 months. The troop elects a new SPL in Sept. and March - then a mad flurry of training occurs. It's pretty fun and the training of scouts is one of a Scoutmaster's main goals.
17 Vote On Idea Currently there are 3 Den Leader training courses offered: Tiger, Cub, and Webelos. There is really only about 10 – 20 minutes worth of different materials across these trainings. Why not consolidate these into "Den Leader Training" and cover all levels?
I have been a strong proponent of leadership training ever since I went though my new leader essentials training as a Tiger Coach and that was several years ago and I have since learned through my interaction with my scout friends in other countries (I have been involved in communication with some 35 countries with…
Yesterday I helped with the BALOO training session, which was held at Camp Rokilio , and I am aways amazed at the number of people now jumping at the chance to take advantage of training made available by Bay-Lakes Council. Although the class size was one of the smaller classes, the attitude has recently changed from…
If you are considering hosting a troop JLT as our Scout Master is planning to do for Troop 483, there are amazing resources out there for you . For example, I'm providing you with just a taste of what I found on a website provided by Troop 659 dedicated to their JLT Training .
It's May, so we have to ask: How will the boys in your troop or crew spend their summer? If a boring summer job or hours of quality time with a PlayStation 3 look likely, listen up. NAYLE, the National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience, is gearing up for another summer of high-level training at Philmont.
On the stage, a spotlight shines on someone who is the center of attention because they choose to be. Scouter Spotlight is different because the people we highlight don't seek applause or praise. Instead, they work behind the scenes to make Scouting better for the kids.
0 Vote On Idea I've had lots of leaders suggest that an updated version of the Introduction to Outdoor Leader Training be created. They have lots of ideas on how to improve it and add to it. Perhaps even an advanced outdoor leader training could be created.
-1 Vote On Idea How about rescinding the decision to award Wood Badge beads to qualifying NYLT Scoutmasters and Asst. Scoutmasters (see the syllabus)? Perhaps Baden Powell did award the beads to trainers of other courses, but he doesn't have to deal with the furor of many of our Wood Badge volunteers.
0 Vote On Idea On the online Youth Protection Training course there is a slide that needs to be changed. It is in one of the sections where you have to identify which scenario would be right...if a youth could visit with a Scoutmaster in his tent.
Can anyone tell be the three tiers to the youth leadership training continuum. Let me give you a hint it begins with Troop Leadership Training. So Now that you know that the three courses our TLT, NYLT, and NAYLE. Lets talk about what each class is about.
It must be a fever that is contagious because my husband and I can't wait to get back to our high adventure training at Powder Horn in less than two weeks. We had a blast getting to know the PH leaders, other members in our Crew, as well as having the opportunity to form a…
Bay-Lakes Council, located in Wisconsin, will offer a week-long Wood Badge course this August, running from Monday through Saturday, to enable participation from scouters who faith practices do not permit/enable Sunday activities. It will be at Cub Scout World Camp Rokilio, near Kiel east of Lake Winnebago.
One of the leadership positions that is rarely used or if used it is commonly misused is that of the Junior Assistant Scoutmaster or JASM. The JASM is a youth leader in the Troop that has the primary purpose of serving as the youth leader and scout advisor.
