What method is best to achieve a totally trained unit?

[MarkS 11]

How about this?... Have the BSA establish a policy that training is optional, but they won't cover you with their libability insurance unless you take all the required training for your position.

Mark S,

Great Idea! Do you think the untrainable Scouters would read the policy letter? lol

 

I'm sorry... I just picture a few stubborn Scouters I have met.

Our council has $15M liability policy for Scouting activities.

 

I was told by my DE that in 2 to 3 years the insurance company is requiring all leaders to be trained in their position for this to be in affect.

 

I was also told that it will be required for any adult to go on an overnight with a Troop or Crew will need to have SM training/Outdoor training to be covered by this insurance.

 

Of course you will always have the Units that ignore this.

Crew21_Adv,

 

If only one in a unit does and warns the others, then the word would be spread.

 

For my pack, I would be happy if one leader from each den, the CC, and the CM had basic training and attended the monthly leaders meetings. We're only a couple den leaders shy of this. I think we could get by if the other MCs were not trained. While not the most serious issue of having untrained leaders in a unit, the most annoying is having to constantly spend time teaching them instead of the boys. It's a waste of my time to have to give the other leaders OJT for things they should know and don't.
