This course puts youth leaders "on the same page" as the adult leaders who have successfully completed Wood Badge. It is designed for youth leaders who want to be the best they can be and who wish to serve their fellow Scouts. It is for any Scout who is from age 13 to age 17, First Class or above and holds a leadership position in his Troop.

What the Scouts will learn:

  • The Leading EDGE (explain, demonstrate, guide, enable)
  • The Teaching EDGE (explain, demonstrate, guide, enable)
  • Communications skills
  • Ethical decision making skills
  • Conflict resolution skills
  • The stages of group development
  • How to build their leadership toolbox

The conference instruction employs both multimedia and hands-on techniques.
