The purpose of the Trainer’s EDGE 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.

The course cost is $5 for supplies.

There is no time to leave for lunch so please bring a sack lunch, snacks and drinks.

Course location:

Cockrell Scout Center

During the final training session, each participant will make a 10 minute presentation on a Scouting topic of his or her choice. The topic should be broad enough to allow the presenter to apply the learning from the morning sessions.  Please bring any material or equipment you will need for your presentation with you to the Trainer’s EDGE course.
