Woodbadge Staff or Powderhorn Staff?

[CNYScouter 46]

Last week I got an email if I was interested in being on staff for Woodbadge.

 

Today I got an email asking if I would be interested in being on Powderhorn Staff.

 

These are from 2 different councils and not my current council.

 

I can't accept both (if offered)

 

So which would you do?

It may depend on what you will be doing. I recommend you ask.

 

WB staff are, depending on the positions, the ones doing the training. I known on my course that pretty much everyone, even the QM staff, made atleast one presentation. There is a difference in what you do from a patrol guide, QM staff, secretary, etc.

 

PH staff is a little different. The bulk of the presentations are done by outside experts, consultants, who are brought in to share their knowledge and expertise. So, by and large, the PH staff is less a presentation staff then a management staff (oversight, getting crews where they need to go, take care of food, logistics, etc).

 

So best to find out what kind of positions you are being asked to fill and make your decision on that basic (do you want to do X on WB staff, or Y on PH staff).

 

hope that helps.
