COURSE FORMAT
This course belongs to you - the volunteer. We are also volunteers
and want to share our knowledge and experience. We will be doing
this in a variety of ways: In some sessions we will present information
in an informal talk format. In others we will be using a discussion
format. In each case your questions are encouraged. Please do
not hestiate to ask questions.
EVALUATION
Your evaluation of this course will help us understand where we
have succeeded and where we can do a better job the next time.
We are still learning how to present this information and your
ideas will help. There is no National standard for this course.
It was created by Scouters like you to help other Scouters, because
we all believe in the Scouting program and want to help the Scouts.
Please help us by completing the evaluation and turning it in
at the end of the course.
Thanks for attending - yours in the Scouting spirit,
