Trainer Development
Conference
The Trainer Development Conference is being held this year. Any
and all adult leaders who want to learn the latest leadership/training skills
are invited to attend this dynamic session. No matter how long you have been a
Scout leader, you can always pick up something new that can help make your
Scouting unit even better. Plus, you never know when your experience might help
another leader solve a problem. Those are the goals of the Trainer Development
Conference. It updates every leader on the latest Scout leadership methods,
skills and practices.
If you are a Pack trainer you need to come! (This is a requirement for the
Pack Trainer Award)
If you are a District trainer in Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, or Venturing,
you will want to come!
If you are a Council trainer for one of our training programs and the
University of Scouting sessions, Commissioner, Key Three, Scoutmaster or any
leadership position, you will want to come!
Participants will learn:
• Why and how we train leaders - and how to do it effectively!
• How adults learn.
• What’s important about communication?
• Characteristics of a good trainer.
• How to plan training.
• What kind of arrangements do you need to make?
• What kind of technology works best in any given situation?
• The latest in training methods.
• How to put the “pizzazz” into whatever you do!
