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 Cedar Badge 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.

Participants will make a presentation to the team on a Scouting topic of your choice. The topic you select should be broad enough to allow you to apply the learning from the morning sessions.  Please bring any material or equipment you need for your presentation with you to the Trainer’s EDGE course. 

This training is a one-time mandatory training for all Wood Badge and Cedar Badge staff members who have not had it.
