  1. Volunteer Development

  2. Instructional Design & Delivery

  3. Cascading and Aligning • National Strategic Plan – Pillar IV, Objective IV • Adult volunteers and youth leaders in every unit, district, and council are sufficiently trained and actively engaged in providing an outstanding Scouting program. • Specific Goal #4 • We have validated and redesigned current training where appropriate for key registered adult leader positions, so that training for every position is easy for leaders to access, helps them gain real insight into the key elements of their Scouting position, and provides them with the tools and support to make Scouting fun and relevant to youth.

  4. Cascading and Aligning • Volunteer Development Committee • Implement an Instruction System of Design (ISD) • over all training using the ADDIE model. • Establish a system & metrics for measuring the impact of training • Review and catalogue current training and its overall place in new methodology • Determine gaps by performing analysis of cause and effect of significant training deliveries • Set priorities on future course development and revisions

  5. A Task Force is Born • Instructional Design and Delivery Task Force • Volunteer Chairperson, Charles “Chuck” Haseman • National Council Staff Advisor, Sara P. Lacobee • Overview: • This group will design and develop an umbrella over all training to volunteers and members that will encompass all stages of the ADDIE model of instructional design.

  6. Objectives to Achieve Success • Over the course of its’ lifetime, this group will: • Assess all current training and may require updates to any course not currently including assessments, evaluation and metrics for use in understanding the effectiveness of current training. • Update and deliver via online and instructor-led methods the Trainers’ Edge, (train the trainer) course. • Design and develop templates to use as guidelines to build new training. • Oversee the development of a course library.

We should be using the young people who are the products of the program to show what young trainers can become.

  20. National Required TrainingPilot Councils’ Checklist • Trainer Development Conference • All Trainers should sharpen their skills by taking this conference or the Trainer'sEdge course. •  Council Kick-Off • All Unit Leaders, Unit Training Coordinators, and Chartered Organization Representatives receive letters informing them of the new training standards and request validation of their current training status. • Attach a training calendar to each letter informing leaders of Training Opportunities.

  23. National Required TrainingPilot Councils’ Checklist • Create a Base Line of Current Conditions • Training can improve numerous program elements that directly impact the program a youth member receives. Councils must create a baseline for all units for: advancement; resident/family/day camp participation; and retention (youth and adult).

  24. National Required TrainingPilot Councils’ Checklist • Charter Renewal • System of Direct Correspondence needs to be in place to update Unit Leaders and Chartering Organizations if Training Requirements are not being updated. • Within 90 days of charter renewal, the district commissioner’s staff must alert the unit, the Top Leaders that the training requirements HAVE NOT BEEN MET and they are in danger of not having their charter renewed.
