firequenchers 10 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hello all, Has anyone attended or helped put on a Outdoor Leaders Skills for Webelos Leaders class. I am the training committee chair for a district here in New Mexico and we want to hold a class at the same time as IOLS so the Webelo Leaders can meet the Scouters. But I can not find anything on the training requirments for the Webelo class. Any help would be great. YiS, Jeff Link to post Share on other sites
ScoutNut 147 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We have combined parts of OLSWL & IOLS, & kept other parts separate. It worked rather well. Actually, when we have BALOO, OLSWL, & IOLS all running at the same place, we have combined the food prep and lunch segments for all 3 courses. If your Scout Shop does not carry the OLSWL syllabus, contact National Supply. The contact info is on ScoutStuff.org. The biggest problem we have with the Webelos Outdoor training is getting folks to take it. Since it is not mandatory, few people will take the course. It is truly sad, how many of the courses we have had to cancel due to lask of participants. Link to post Share on other sites
infoscouter 11 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We've offered this course for three years. This year we're ramping up to twice a year. The syllabus for this course is not available from National Supply, AFAIK. It was supplied to me as a BIN item. I *believe* it is available for professionals to order from the National Council or to download from MyBSA (that's the intranet for the professional staff). The BIN item number is 13-33640. Someone at your council office should be able to order the syllabus for you. The format for the the training which is concurrent with IOLS keeps the Webelos Leaders with the Boy Scout leaders for 20 minutes of several of the sessions (knots, woods tools, etc.) then the Webelos leaders are pulled out and instructed about the Webelos aspects of those topics. There are other sessions which are totally separate from the Boy Scout leaders. I'm going to PM you with more info. Link to post Share on other sites
fgoodwin 23 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Welcome to the forums, firequencher! I'm not sure what you mean when you write: "I can not find anything on the training requirments for the Webelo class." The training requirements are in the OLS-WL syllabus. Didn't the previous training chair have a copy of that syllabus? If so, he or she should've turned it over to you. If they didn't have a copy, then your DE or District Chairman should get you one.

FScouter 24 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 "I'm going to PM you with more info." Feel free to post it here. I know at least one other forum member that is interested in how the two courses are integrated. Link to post Share on other sites
firequenchers 10 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Please email me any and all items you care to share about the OLSWL or IOLS.. I am always looking for new ideas. thanks, Jeff jrcrum@firequenchers.net Link to post Share on other sites
infoscouter 11 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The materials are sort of extensive, and not mine to post. If you care to join the Scouter_t group on Yahoo! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scouter_t/ you can see the materials prepared by another member of that group in the files section.
