Why and How We Train Leaders
Small GroupFun and fellowship
Easier to shareShared experiences are a powerful learning technique
Immediate feedbackBenefit from others accomplishments
Share similar challenges and concernsBuild relationships and networksNOT a lecture to a small group
Informal or formal settings
![Page 12: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Why and How We Train Leaders
Personal CoachingSome are unable to attend scheduled training
One-on-one gets new leaders trained quickly
Appropriate for orientation and basic training
Informal setting
Adapt the syllabus from a formal training
Ensures learning objectives are met
![Page 13: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Why and How We Train Leaders
Self StudyOwn schedules and venue
E-learning
Used when group or personal is not available
Limited effectiveness - encourage other methods
Follow-up by trainer to check for full understanding
![Page 14: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Why and How We Train Leaders
Centers of Excellence
Learn by visiting/participating with great units, roundtables, districts, camps, councils, and other Scouting events.
The BSA will be establishing and recognizing Centers of Excellence where formal training will occur through
observation and participation in successful program.
![Page 15: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Why and How We Train LeadersThe mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Our ability to influence the lives of young people depends on our understanding of the aims, principles, and techniques of your role in Scouting. Training is what makes that possible
Leaders need training as soon as possible using the best training method available.

How People Learn
Scouts and adults learn best when:
• They understand why something is important to know or do
• They have the freedom to learn in their own way
• Learning is experiential
• The time is right for them to learn
• The process is positive and encouraging
![Page 23: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

![Page 24: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
How People Learn
They understand why something is important to know or do
People who want to be there vs have to be there. Trainers help both types understand why and how the course is going to help them.
"What's in it for me?" - may be unspoken but is common among adult learners. Answer that question!
Avoid acronyms and Scouting language. "The SPL was elected to the OA and wants the PLC to attend NYLT this summer."
![Page 25: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
How People Learn
They have the freedom to learn in their own way
People learn in different ways. By watching (visual); by listening (aural); and some by doing (tactile).
Vary your teaching styles and offer opportunities for each type if possible.
![Page 26: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
How People Learn
The time is right for them to learn
When an adult first joins Scouting or takes on a new role, is when the time for learning is right. That is when they have the most motivation to learn.
Also in unplanned teaching moments. When a question, challenge, or problem arises, it is a good time for learning to occur because the learner's motivation is high.
![Page 27: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

How People Learn
The process is positive and encouraging
A course filled with positive reinforcement and fun will enhance learning

Death By PowerPoint
Is really a statement about the trainer being boring
But there are a lot of “bad” PowerPoint presentations out there

Commissioner Priorities
Commissioners are great Scouters
May be asked to do many things
NOT the primary responsibilities of commissioners
Concentrate your Scouting time on helping specific unit needs
Good Unit ServiceTakes precedence over all other
Scouting efforts
![Page 41: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Commissioner Priorities
• Great Scouters• Often do more than their role• Concentrate on specific unit needs• Good unit service!

Training RecognitionThe leadership training recognition plan is intended to honor demonstrated performance and tenure of trained leaders in all areas of the Scouting program directly involving units. Leaders interested in collecting recognitions for the sake of the emblem only should be counseled as to the true intent of the plan. The Scouting leader who has shown interest and dedication by giving up personal time to attend a learning event should be properly and publicly recognized. Whatever format the recognition takes, it should be sincere and impressive, and the participants should be made to feel they have accomplished something worthwhile. The training committee should encourage Scouters to qualify for the various awards, provide opportunities for completing their requirements, and see proper records are kept. Recognition will establish status for the training and the awards in the eyes of all youth, adult leaders, chartered organizations, and the general public.It is important to the recognition plan that all awards be presented in a dignified manner at an occasion befitting the achievement. Immediate recognition of achievement could be given by presentation of the award in the presence of the unit membership and representatives of the chartered organization. Occasions for formal recognition should also include meetings with the chartered organization, roundtables, and council and district meetings. Recipients of awards might be recognized at the annual meeting of the district or council, and an announcement in the council newsletter and in other news media is also recommended. Keep in mind an important objective is to encourage other leaders to strive to be fully trained. Properly handled, the awards presentation can serve to prompt others to seek training and recognition.

Cognitive Overload Theory
A person has a limited amount of mental energy available to pay attention to the world around them.
As soon as they become overloaded, their attention span drops and so does their ability to learn.
![Page 45: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
Training Methods
Not all trainers use the same training methods. Most of us are adept at one or two training methods.
The training methods used in Scouting are:Lecture
Informal TalkDemonstration
Case StudyRole-PlaySimulation
![Page 46: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Training Methods
Lecture MethodOne person conveys informationHas little participant interaction
When is the Lecture Method appropriate?Very large group
Introductory lessonParticipants have no experiences to share
![Page 47: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Training Methods
Lecture MethodAdvantages:
Time-efficient for a large number of peopleNot sidetracked by participants
Expert information is shared
Disadvantages:Have to test to determine if information is learned
Overall depth of learning a will be lowPreferred method of learning for most adults
Success is dependent on the lecturer
![Page 48: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
48
Training Methods
Informal Talk MethodParticipants are more involved
Feedback is obtained through questioning and discussion
Trainer imparts knowledge but allows the learner to find answers
When would the Informal Method be appropriate?Less technical information
Information is familiar to the participants
New to the participant, but they have some relevant experience
When time is available to allow discussion and questions
![Page 49: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
49
Training Methods
Demonstration MethodTeaching a skill and participants actually perform a task
Best for simple tasks or small groups with time for the task available
To Be Effective:
Trainer must be prepared and practiced
Have materials for all participants
All participants must be able to see and do
![Page 50: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

51
Training Methods
Case Study MethodRealistic situation or actual event involving a judgment call.Presented orally or by handout, for analysis and resolution.
To Be Effective:
Real-life situations make your point more effective.
Should be relevant to the lives and/or experiences of the participants.
![Page 52: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Training Methods
Role Play MethodTrainers and participants act out roles in an improvisation.
Must supply their own dialog within the scenario.May or may not develop an outcome.
Role-play allows multiple points of view to be examined.
Adults enjoy role-playing as much as youthAdding a few inexpensive props (hats, fake mustache, and/or coffee
cup) makes it fun for those watching, as well.
![Page 53: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Training Methods
Simulation MethodA more complex form of role-playing and case study
Participants experience situations that could happen
Tough to do without tools, skills, and knowledgeable trainers
Often used for Disaster Training
![Page 54: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
The Fundamentals of Training
Some parting thoughts:Be yourself and relax
Believe in your message
Change your public speaking attitude
Know what participants want to know
Change the tone of voice or pattern of speech
Change the pace
Know your presentation tools
Practice!
![Page 55: The Fundamentals of Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58ee99c11a28ab7b5e8b45a3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
The Fundamentals of Training
Our goal as trainers should be to pass on the skills and ideas that will
help other leaders be effective in their roles so that Scouting is safer,
more fun, and more effective in the lives of Scouts.
Your goal is to train leaders, not just run training courses.
