The Trainer’s EDGE™
  
Explain: The trainer explains how something is done.
Demonstrate: The trainer demonstrates while explaining again.
Guide: The learner tries the skill while the trainer guides him through it.
Enable: The learner works on his own under the eye of the trainer.
Leadership training is a major part of Scouting, and this new training session will teach trainers how to conduct an effective training session. The course will include an opportunity to prepare and conduct presentations and demonstrate skills. This course will be especially useful for those serving on the training staffs of Wood Badge and leader-specific training courses.
Who should come?
- Youth Trainers for JLTC, Venturing, Roundtable, Order of the Arrow, and Summer Camp
- District Trainers in Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, Venturing
- Council Trainers for Wood Badge, JLTC, Youth Protection and all the other trainings.
- Commissioners--Unit, District, Assistant District, and Roundtable
- Any Scout Leader who wants to learn to communicate ideas better!
To clarify, an adult is any leader or trainer that is 21 years old or over and a youth is a leader or trainer between 14 and 21 years of age, regardless of the program they are involved in. Boy Scouts should hold the rank of 1stClass or higher.
