Miscellaneous Training

Trainer Development Conference (1 day)

The Trainer Development Conference is open to all registered Scouters and may also be of interest to those youth members who work as staff members at Camp Freeland Leslie or Thunderbird Junior Leader Training. The Trainer Development Conference (TDC) is designed to acquaint adult leaders with the basic elements of training Scout leaders and the key skills required to do so. It provides both the theory and practical information needed to staff Scouting's numerous training courses.

The course should be of particular interest to Cub Scout leaders who register as Pack Trainers but will benefit all leaders who find themselves teaching Scouts or Scouters, including commissioners, Scoutmasters, Venturing leaders, and members of district and/or council training staffs.

While specific invitations are generally sent, all leaders who are interested in improving their teaching and presentation skills are welcome to attend.

District Committee Training

This training is designed especially for all new members of district operating committees. Start the Scouting year off right with training designed to help you understand, recognize and implement the skills needed to be a successful district committee member.

The next DC training is tentatively scheduled for August 2005.
