There are a variety of formats and locations to accommodate Scouters’ needs. Some training is done on one or two evenings while other training can be over several weeks and occasionally a course can be residential at a Scout camp. See your Service Scouter for details.
Woodbadge Part 1 provides stills for typical activities
that leaders engage in when planning, delivering, evaluating and managing weekly programs - as well as annual program planning. Leaders requiring additional training/development can acquire these skills through on-the-job training, coaching/mentoring or by attending workshops.

focus is on a different skill set, including leadership abilities and the
more advanced skills leaders need to take their program outdoors for
weekend camps and outings.

SafeTALK
SafeTALK
is a Hamilton Community Council program that prepares volunteers
to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to
suicide first aid resources. Most people with thoughts of
suicide, either directly or indirectly invite help to stay safe.
Alert volunteers know how to identify and work with these
opportunities to help protect life. This presentation will
illustrate both non alert and alert responses and discuss steps
to connect a person with thoughts of suicide, to a suicide first
aid intervention caregiver. Presented by the Hamilton Police
Services.
Bullying
Studies have found
bullying occurs once every seven minutes on the playground and
once every 25 minutes in peer groups. In the majority of cases,
bullying stops within 10 seconds when peers intervene, or do not
support the bullying behavior. This presentation, offered by
Hamilton Police, will discuss the four most common types of
bullying; verbal, social, physical and cyber bullying, and offer
ways to recognize, intervene and prevent bullying. - Presented
by Ray Donahue, Scouter and Hamilton Police Officer.
