AlFansome 10 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Saw on Facebook today that the (unofficial) PTC schedule for 2010 is now posted at http://www.ptcstaff.com/philmont_training_center_news.htm Time to start making plans! Link to post Share on other sites
trainerlady 10 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Thanks for the info link. I've been trying to get the dates and courses for about a month now. Unfortunately the class I want is only offered during my district's cub day camp of which I'm an assistant director. So now I have some decisions to make, day camp or Philmont Webelos to First Class course. I suppose I can do a different course. Anybody got info on Webelos to First Class or Helping packs, districts and councils suceed using the cub scout outdoor program? Info may help make my decision easier. Thanks A Confused Trainerlady Link to post Share on other sites
Twocubdad 665 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 What is the Wood Badge refresher course? For folks who took the old course does this equal them taking the 21st century course? Link to post Share on other sites
SR540Beaver 116 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 TwoCub, I just attended the Course Director's Development Conference a couple of weeks ago and there was no mention of this. I have no idea what the "refresher" course consists of, but I would seriously doubt that it would qualify old syllabus WB attendees to be considered as 21st Century WB. They have been pretty adament in their requirement that anyone wanting to staff a course needs to go thru 21st Century WB. Link to post Share on other sites
ctbailey 10 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 From the Philmont course schedule page: Wood Badge Refresher This course is designed to introduce the skills of Wood Badge for the 21st Century to those who have completed previous Wood Badge editions. You will learn the basic models and terms used in Wood Badge for the 21st Century and understand the alignment of these skills with our youth leadership training. Open to all who have completed a past Wood Badge course. July 11-17 Link to post Share on other sites
jr56 92 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Wonder if you would even be considered for wood badge staff if you took the wood badge refresher course. Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hmmmmm: June 20-26: Implementation of Required Training I think the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming express train... Link to post Share on other sites
BDPT00 41 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 "Wonder if you would even be considered for wood badge staff if you took the wood badge refresher course." ** How/Why? A "refresher" certainly wouldn't make one qualified ... according to the staff guide. However, it may prompt a good look by the region if the council is seeking a waiver of the requirements for an outstanding presenter. Worth a try and a question. Automatic? No. BDPT00 Link to post Share on other sites
