What is required to give totin'chip cards?

[laserjim 10]

I am a scout from Troop 535, and I am responsible for our next meeting. We are getting many new scouts from a new troop, and I suggested that we do training for the totin'chip cards. I was wondering what training/certification (if any) is required to teach this lesson.

None is needed although it would be advisable for you to have passed the requirements to show you have an understanding of the skills.

 

Guessing that is the case, you just need to cover the material as it is taught in the handbook.

 

There are teaching methods that could be helpful to you so that it is not just a sit and listen lesson.

 

Has your Scout leader shared any teaching tips with you?

So far as Troop 21 here in Juneau all the training you need to teach Totin'Chip Chip is 1. Earned the Totin'Chip Chip yourself, 2. Hold the First Class rank. After the training is done the trainer initials the card the trainee signs the card then brings the card to the scoutmaster for signature.

 

In your unit it may be different.

 

Ask your SPL first then if necessary ask your Scoutmaster.
