Replacing the former
Woodbadge 1 and 2 guidelines, this set of learning objectives is
designed to make the leader training and evaluation process more
user-friendly than ever before. They are strictly
competency-based: previous experience, and demonstrated skills
and abilities are now fully considered when evaluating leader
qualifications.
The Basic Program Planning and Delivery Objectives are
typical activities leaders engage in when planning, delivering,
evaluating and managing weekly programs - as well as annual
program planning.
Leaders requiring additional training/development can acquire
these skills through on-the-job training, coaching/mentoring or
by attending workshops.
Advanced Outdoor Skills and Program Planning & Delivery
Objectives focus on a different skill set, including
leadership abilities and the more advanced skills leaders need to
take their program outdoors for weekend camps and outings.
Now there is a means of quick identification of demonstrated
ability on the job! We can help leaders to be successful by
providing them with personalized development plans according to
their needs. This provides for a flexible,
easy-to-understand learning opportunity and faster, more accurate
recognition for all leaders.
Recognition for demonstrating these competencies is the
traditional Woodbadge woggle (Basic) and beads (Advanced). These
will be presented to the leader at an appropriate time and place
once the leader has demonstrated that he/she has acquired the
appropriate knowledge/skills.
Former National Commissioner Sam Elsworth wrote to Provincial
Commissioners in June, 2002 introducing these new objectives,
you
can read his memo.
Selection Interview Objectives
Every new leader must participate in a Selection
Interview as part of the volunteer screening process. Besides
screening in acceptable leaders, the interview provides an
opportunity to provide the prospective leader with information
about Scouting and the role of the leader. This information
provided in the model interview (See Scouts Canada's Volunteer
Screening Handbook) is summarized in the Selection Interview
Objectives.
Read the document
outlining this process.
Orientation Objectives
Once the interview and reference checks are
complete, and the new leader has initiated a police records
check, the new leader begins a three month Orientation and
Probation Period. The information new leaders need to receive
during this period is summarized in the Orientation
Objectives.
