Good afternoon all! Been a little while since I frequented this part of t'interweb Anyway just doing the rounds and posting my troop's review of the year. Been a strange one. Started in semi lock down and ended up somewhat normal! If you've got 5 minutes then enjoy

Unfortunately the politics won on establishing this MB as an Eagle required vice adding a section to each rank requirement. My guess that if it wasn't Eagle Required it would fall behind Bugling in popularity. These requirements should be taught by the scout's parents/guardians. My friend did a session and the feedback from the scouts was "this stuff is so obvious to us" This tells me his program is working.

The Trained Leader report at my.scouting can be difficult to read, but Scoutmasters / Assistant Scoutmasters need the following in order to be considered "trained": Y01 - Youth Protection Training Certification Scoutmaster (and Assistant Scoutmaster) position specific training (online learning plan) OR S24 - Scoutmaster Specific Training (in person) SCO_800 - Hazardous Weather Training (online only) - supposed to be renewed every 2 years. S11 - IOLS (overnight campout / in person only) If you have proof of the training (for example: training certificate for IOLS t

I think many of us would agree the aims of scouting including citizenship development. The question is the how (methods). In order to achieve the top rank in UK Scouts, you have to complete 9 challenge awards. Of those, 1 is similar to BSA's Citizenship list. Below are the requirements of the "World Challenge Award". You can see all of our 4 Citizenships in this one award. I also notice that it would be tough to earn this sitting in a classroom (in fact, there is almost no classroom aspect to this award). This is about taking action (6 of the 7 requirements are about taking action,

Yes, key 3, Unit commissioners, some district folks, have access to the training manager. You can easily add courses like IOLS S11. to people's training records rather than trying to get it submitted to council. If your ASMs took IOLS out of council, it's unlikely that it would get entered into the electronic record. You should add those courses if you have access to the training manager. The only limitation is that you cannot add training for yourself.

I believe the Key 3 can add some of any missing training in myscouting through the Training Manager

My advice is to keep copies of all your training records, cards, etc, especially if done out of council. If you can get access to the my.scouting records, print the reports that they completed, and any completion cards they have, and give them to either your district training chair, or registrar. The council registrar can fix the issue. I remember one screw up with records that had NO ONE in the district as trained, including out PTC faculty member. Spent 3 months creating a spreadsheet with everyone's information to submit to the Registar so she could reenter the records. 2-3 year lat
