There seems to be so much going on in our council - and now they are talking about selling the council office! Sometimes it can be overwhelming and hard to keep up with who is making these decisions. I got to sit down with Steve Hammond to chat about his role as Council President, the state of the council, and his favorite camping story. In January of 2023, Steve wrote in the Tributary: One of my favorite authors Mark Twain once noted “Reports of my death or greatly exaggerated.” Listen to Steve talk about the future of the Virginia Headwaters Council.

Da Jørn var på Gilwell i 1988, var der langsplejsning på programmet. Her, 34 år senere, er Jørn kursusleder og langsplejsning er røget i svinget. I stedet arbejder han på, at kursisten lærer sig selv bedre at kende og bliver leder i eget liv.Men er det egentligt særligt sjovt at have 100+ års historie på nakken, når man laver et kursusprogram? Eller er det historien, der adskiller Gilwell for alle de andre kurser? Og er det ikke et stort ansvar for en kursusleder - sådan at udvikle andre? Det er jo ikke nødvendigvis småting, deltagerne kan gå rundt og bakse med. Hvordan kan en stab af helt almindelige spejdere sikre hinandens personlige udvikling? De spørgsmål - og mange andre - stiller vi Jørn Lodahl på en solbeskinnet amfiscene på Hedeland, imens Spejdernes Lejr buldrer løs omkring os.Læs mere på https://gilwell.kfumspejderne.dkVores Hjemmeside: https://spejderliv.dkFacebook: https://facebook.com/spejderlivpodcastInstagram: https://instagram.com/spejderlivet

Lysebrunt tørklæde og træperler om halsen. En særlig sang for de indviede. Et kursus der er over 100 år gammelt og anerkendt i hele verden. Gilwell er noget særligt.KFUM-Spejdernes Gilwell vil gøre dig til en bedre leder i eget liv, og den personlige udvikling skal sikres gennem et særligt “Personligt udviklingsmål”.Men hvis man står udenfor og kigger ind, kan det virke lidt hemmelighedsfuldt det hele. Det er ret svært at se andres personlige udvikling på fotografier, og sangen kan vi jo ikke synge for jer. Men, der er heldigvis en anden måde:Vi har interviewet tre kursister, som fortæller os, hvordan kurset var for dem. Vi hører om deres personlige udviklingsmål, og om hvordan livet forandrer sig, når kurset slutter og hverdagen begynder igen.Som et lille eksperiment, udgiver vi Gilwell temaet i 5 små afsnit, på hver ca. 20 minutter. Det hele ligger klar til dig allerede, og du kan selv sammensætte din lytteoplevelse.I det her første afsnit fortæller vi om hele konceptet bag vores tema, og om det oprindelige “Wood Badge” kursus på Gilwell park. En stor eksportsucces, som hurtigt bredte sig til Danmark. Steen har tørklædet (og viser det gerne frem). Kim har det ikke.

Dan ville helst undgå skænderier og konflikter... Sådan er vi nok mange der har det. Mange som hellere vil trække os tilbage end at tage kampen. Og gudskelov for det - sikken en verden vi ville have, hvis der ikke var nogen til at glatte ud. Men det kan blive for meget med alt den udglatning. For konflikter er ikke til at undgå; og slet ikke hvis man som Dan arbejder med kundeservice. Derfor blev det hurtigt klart for Dan, at konflikthåndtering skulle være hans personlige udviklingsmål på Gilwell. Lynhurtig havde Dan kastet sig over bøger om konfliktløsning, kendte snart både konflikttrappen og Tuckmanns udviklingsfaser og alt det der. Men det blev Dan's tutor, der gennem samtaler endegyldigt satte udviklingen i gang.Her bagefter kurset er Dan bedre til at være i konflikter. Men det har haft en pris.Vi mødes med Dan på Spejdernes lejr, og tager samtalen med ham under lejrpladsens stjernetelt. Så der er en skøn lyd af lejr omkring os.

Heidi har været spejderleder i mange år, og der har været fokus på ledergerningen, og ikke så meget på Heidis eget spejderliv. Men nu er det på tide at gøre noget for sig selv og tage på kursus. Gerne noget med ledelse, og så er Gilwell jo lige for.Heidi kommer til Gilwell med den målsætning, at hun vil blive bedre til at sige nej til de mange frivillige opgaver som let kan oversvømme en leder. Men ret hurtigt finder hun ud af, at hun får energi og glæde ud af sit frivillige arbejde. Det handler ikke om at gøre mindre. Det handler om at gøre det samme på kortere tid - at få tingende gjort.Undervejs på kurset begynder Heidi også at træne sine tanker. Tanker opstår inde i os, som en respons på det, vi oplever, og ens egen respons kan man godt selv styre - selvom det ikke altid er lige let.Hvordan Heidi håndterer negative følelser kan du høre om i selve interviewet. Kim og Heidi går en tur en underlejr på Spejdernes Lejr, så der er en masse dejlig lejr-lydkulisse.

Hvis man siger ja til for mange ting, så kommer der et punkt hvor bægeret flyder over. Der er simpelthen ikke kræfter til at gøre det hele godt.Og sådan en type var Emma - og vi er nok mange, der kan genkende den situation. Men midt i den kedeligste Corona-periode, besluttede Emma sig for at tage på Gilwell og arbejde med at sige nej til flere ting.Det skal vise sig, at Emma tager sin personlige udfordring ret seriøst, hvilket hendes arbejdsgiver også kommer til at mærke. Vi skal også høre hendes råd til alle os, der også gerne vil lære at sige mere nej. Men der er altså ikke én perfekt løsning, der passer til alle. Steen går en tur med Emma på Spejdernes Lejr, så der er en masse dejlig lejrstemning, et par enkelte fly og motorsave med i baggrunden.Læs mere på https://gilwell.kfumspejderne.dkVores Hjemmeside: https://spejderliv.dkFacebook: https://facebook.com/spejderlivpodcastInstagram: https://instagram.com/spejderlivet

Wrapping up our four part mini-series on Wildland fire and forestry with Dr. David Godwin, PhD.  I want to thank our sponsor of the mini-series, Limmer Boot Company.  Limmer believes in the power of growing communities and relationships in the outdoors, and they know that the moments of introspection and self-reliance learned there, can transform any individual. So if you're looking for your last pair of hiking boots, check out Limmerboots.com to learn more.Like many, David was so impacted by his time on staff as a Ranger, that upon returning home to college, he changed his major to focus on natural resources.  Today David is the Director of the Southern Fire Exchange program with the University of Florida School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics. The Southern Fire Exchange is part of the larger Fire Science Exchange Network which exists to accelerate awareness, understanding, adoption, and implementation of readily available wildland fire science information.In 2014, David was thrilled to return as a Visiting Forester, where he shared his passion for and told the story of fire. He also utilized the site specific location, overlooking Cito Reservoir, to discuss the impacts of fire on natural resources such as water - as they say in the West: "Whiskeys for drinking, but waters for fighting over."  David also shares his experience at Black Lake, NM - where in 2013 he assisted in a prescribed fire training exchange, also known as TREX.   Lastly, David shares some great stories from his time on staff.  David remains active in Scouting, and ironically, he learned of the Zastrow Cabin being lost to the Cooks Peak fire while enrolled in a Woodbadge course in his home state of Florida. I want to thank everyone who contributed to this feature series, and especially to those working around the clock to protect lives and structures during the Hermit's Peak / Calf Canyon and Cooks Peak fires.

In this episode, we shift the focus to a historical discussion of the original program and the lodge at Zastrow.  Zastrow is one of Philmont's southernmost backcountry camps where the Cooks Peak Fire burned.   On April 22nd, 2022, the cabin was lost to fire. A continued thanks to our sponsor of this mini-series, Limmer Boot Company.  Limmer is excited to support the podcast and encourages other businesses to consider to both share their stories and support the podcast in the future.  Check them out at Limmerboots.com - to learn more and read reviews.  To kick off this episode and celebrate the historical origin of Zastrow, Bob Longoria joins the show.  Bob's Philmont volunteer and staff resumes are both extensive and diverse, starting in 1986 when he attended Walking Woodbadge at Zastrow.  The lodge at Zastrow was built in 1949 and was considered the home of American Woodbadge.  Bob calculated that 137 Woodbadge courses occurred at Zastrow throughout it's history.  The lodge was heavily decorated with scouting paraphernalia including flags, patches, shovels, and other symbolic totems of the Woodbadge program.  Bob also discusses what exactly Woodbadge is - an advanced leadership program for adult Scouters world-wide, focusing on the Patrol method.The second portion of the interview highlights Bob's experiences working for the National Junior Leader Instructor Camp, now known as NAYLE and of course, his time working for the incredible Philmont Commissary.  Bob returns this summer, 2022, as the Backcountry Warehouse Manager.   Philmont Volunteer ExperienceWalking Woodbadge (Zastrow+Trek) 1988-1994Philmont Training Center (Conference Chairman – “Conducting a Council Junior Leader Training Conference”, 1998, 1999National Junior Leader Instructor Camp (Rocky Mountain Scout Camp), 1999 – 2004National Junior Leader Instructor Camp, National Course Director, 2005National Advanced Youth Leader Experience (NAYLE), National Coordinator, 2006, 2007Worked with Doug Palmer – Did maps and elevation profiles for the Treks Itinerary Booklet, 1998, 1999, 2000Philmont Fly Fishing Invitation, 2001-PresentPhilmont Staff ExperienceCamp Director-Rocky Mountain Scout Camp, 2008, 2009 (summer and fall)Commissary Driver, 2010, 2011, 2012Commissary Assistant Manager, 2013Camp Director, Rayado Ridge (NAYLE), 2014, 2015, 2016 (summer and fall)Commissary Driver, 2019Commissary Manager, 2021Backcountry Warehouse Manager, 2022Check out Sproketbob to learn more about Bob's bike tour across the US.Closing song by Mathias Olson titled "I Brought Everything."

Aside from required position training, how do you get leaders to attend next-level options such as Wood Badge, Powderhorn, University of Scouting and other opportunities? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-practical-scouter/message

You have attended Wood Badge and worked your ticket and now you got your beads. Now the Wood Badge course director has asked you to help by joining the staff. You say YES, and they hand you a bunch of recruiting material? Now you need to go get Scouters signed up. Some courses are full and no recruiting is needed, but some need help getting Scouters to signup. Be Prepared for this challenge by knowing the program and being able to answer questions. You know that Wood Badge is the highest level of training in Scouting. You also know Scouters who are waiting for some reason to take the course. Always remember that Wood Badge is serious training and not a used car. Don't go “high-pressure salesmen” on a scout leader who is not ready. Like we keep saying here, most have never been asked. Just give them the opportunity and they will jump on board.

Neckerchief slides. Rings. Turk's Heads. Whatever you call them, these handy little fasteners have an interesting history. Podcast Topics Ken and Colin — in their first in-person recording in over a year (the last one having taken place on or about March 12, 2020) — discuss woggles, the ubiquitous neckerchief fasteners used by Scouts the world over, examining the history of the word “woggle” and the emergence of their use. Particular focus is given to the Gilwell Woggle, which is awarded to Wood Badge recipients in some countries. This distinctive — but easily-made — woggle is fashioned using a Turk's Head Knot (also called a Sailor's Knot), a mathematically intriguing knot that might have had its origins as a means of denoting the king spoke on ships wheels. Shout-Outs Scouter Chuck writes in with some follow-up about the document we referenced in the recent knife safety episode: Cool to see a document I co-authored referenced in your transcript. We have a permit system for safe use of tools: Knives, Axe and Saw, Match and Fire, and Stove and Lantern. There weren't any standards so we wrote them for local use in 2012, and have been happy to share them. You never know where they'll end up. As always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience. If you're listening to us on Scouting Radio right now, let us know; reach out and get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.

There are many forms of training within scouting. During this pandemic time, Scout leaders have been concentrating on their online learning. There is more to training than just online classes. many times there is training that needs in-person instruction or physical demonstrations. It would be very difficult to do Introduction to Outdoor Skills, Wood Badge, or NYLT all online. One of the nice benefits of Scouting that it's been around a very long time and everything is written down, so there is no need to reinvent the wheel. All training classes are continuously reviewed and updated. As we leave the pandemic lockdowns we need to dedicate ourselves to live training.

One of the craziest things about Wood Badge is the fixation of critters. Each patrol in Wood Badge is personified by an animal. Be forewarned if you're going to Wood Badge you are going to become a diehard fan of your critter. You might even find yourself dancing around celebrating it. All this madness has a reason. You will discover the patrol method that Baden-Powell perfected and installed into the Scouting movement. After all, why should only the youth have fun in Scouting? Patrol critters are amazing, they teach us a lot of stuff and they're fun.

The National Youth Leadership Training NYLT is equivalent to the adult Wood Badge in many ways. Youth leaders in their Troop or Crew should plan on attending this week-long course. Many of the up-to-date training techniques are used in a Troop setting to inspire youth leaders to take on new responsibilities of leadership. This national course of youth leadership training is highly recommended for all youth leadership. There are some requirements before a Scout can attend National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT). Adult Troop or Crew leadership should encourage Scouts to attend this critical training.

The new Wood Badge is something that everyone's talking about. Discover with ScouterStan what is new at Wood Badge. National has implemented many surveys to improve Wood Badge with new leadership teaching skills. Streamlining the normal course from six to five days and lowering the cost. Also revamping the mission statement to reflect modern leadership techniques. Wood Badge is now recommended for all new adult leaders who have completed their basic and specific leadership training. If you've already have taken Wood Badge you do not need to do it again. Although this would be a great opportunity for you to work on staff.

Happy New Year! Let's make this year one of the best for Scouting. There are five ways to make sure that we start off the year in a good way. #1 is to make sure that your Youth Protection Training is up to date. It's OK to do it annually even though it's good for two years, and this will help avoid rechartering issues down the road. #2 Download and distribute the Journey To Excellence scorecard and distributed to all leaders in your unit. Commit to run your unit to achieve the gold level. #3 Crosstraining… All leaders should be cross-trained and have the skills needed for a different position. Learning what other leaders do will give you more enlightenment (Big Picture) about the scouting process. #4 get your Scouts BSA Health Form ABC Taking care of at your annual checkup. This will prevent any snags in going on adventures or camping. #5 Vaccinations. It seems to be the number one topic these days of post-pandemic Scouting. However, one vaccination is important to get every year and that is the flu vaccination. Remember that there is a 14 day period between vaccinations. ⚜️ Note: This is the first show of the Commissioners' Weekly 4th season.

Thair is an actual complaint form for parents. That national has a 100% guaranty on. More info later, let's jump into this. We are talking about disagreements and not actual safety or YPT issues. Parents get mad or upset for many reasons. Personality or cultural differences A preserved unfairness Confronted with something that they don’t want It’s just your turn… Self-resolving conflict – this is a solution that is handled by the upset person over time. Cooperative Resolutions – First off, everyone in scouting and families of the scouts is bound by the scout oath and law. These are the ground rules which we live by. This is a foundation of trust and familiarity. The most important skill as a leader is “Active Listening”. (Courteous) A conscious effort to listen must be made to learn all the facts of an issue. Filter out fealing statements or derogatory assumptions as these are the emotions and not the issue. Don’t shut down or walk away. (Not Friendly, & Kind) Determine if they want a response from you. They will ask when they're ready, but they may not be ready to hear what you say. Restating the issue may be needed to start a solution with understanding. The most important question is “What do you want?” • The answer to this question is the solution to the conflict. The Wood Badge “Managing Conflict” training is a good resource for leaders to handle conflicts. You should go to Wood Badge! - - - - - - - - - - GO TO WOOD BADGE ! - - - - - - - - - - The complaint form with the 100% warranty is… The Adult Application!

Your Troop 1 Guide for your patrol is still there. Contact your Troop Guide as they have resources to help. Making changes to your ticket may need to happen. Your patrol guide can help you in getting approvals. When you complete your ticket it's time for you to get “beaded”.

♫“Back to Gilwell O’Happy Land… I’m Going to work my Ticket if I can.”♫ Wood Badge is the highest level of adult Scout leader training available in the World. The first Wood Badge training was organized by Francis "Skipper" Gidney and lectured by Robert Baden-Powell and others at Gilwell Park in the UK in September of 1919. The first course in America was held at Schiff Scout Reservation in 1948. Scouters wanting to take the course must be fully position trained with current YPT. All levels of Scouts BSA are encouraged to take this high-level training. Wood Badge is set up as a 6-day course. One full week or two full weekends of training. After completing the course members of Troop 1 start working their “ticket” to complete the training. On completion, the Scouter is awarded the Gilwell Wood beads, neckerchief, and woggle. Warning, this is high-level training. I have seen it change peoples point of view of the world. Your critter and patrol members will become a special part of your scouting life.

This week we start off with a discussion of Coaching and Training, in particular something Kevin did called WoodBadge for the 21st Century from the BSA. Our Wombat Test Subject gets her new assignment, the Emergent Task Planner (ETP) from David Seah.

What is the Wood Badge? What does it signify, and how do different Scouting organizations train their leaders in it? Subscribe on iTunes | Subscribe on Google Play | Subscribe on Android | Like Us on Facebook | Follow Us on Twitter----more----Podcast Topics Ken and Brian discuss the Wood Badge — a leadership training program instituted in 1919, with the first session held at Gilwell Park (at which Baden Powell was one of the lecturers) — and how it serves to train Scouters with advanced leadership skills, so as to better deliver the Scouting program to the youth of their groups. Also discussed: the fact that the Wood Badge is very much a global phenomenon, with many National Scouting Organizations (NSOs) around the world having implemented it. Some NSOs — such as Scouts Canada — even make elements of the Wood Badge mandatory; Scouters in Scouts Canada must complete what is known as Wood Badge 1 in order to serve as Scouters at all. Completing Wood Badge is itself a mark of honour; it confers membership in the 1st Gilwell Scout Group, as signified by the tan-and-tartan Gilwell Necker. A set of beads is also given to Scouters who complete Wood Badge, a tradition that was taken from Baden Powell's time and experiences in what was (at least in 1888) known as Zululand. And perhaps most importantly, Wood Badge is a means for Scouters the world over to build connections and friendships, and to deepen their commitment to the Scouting movement.Shout-Outs As always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience.
