Trainer's EDGE is BSA's new trainer development course designed to help Scouters put into practice the EDGE training model and gain self-confidence through hands-on training experiences.

Trainer's EDGE brings to life the EDGE model taught in Troop Leadership Training, Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster Specific Training, National Youth Leadership Training, and Wood Badge.  Participants are given opportunity to prepare and practice a training session of their choice, using materials, equipment, and/or props that they bring with them to the course.

Participants should include those individuals that will be delivering training to adults and youth leaders in all parts of the Scouting program:

• District and council trainers
• Merit badge counselors -- incuding summer and winter camp staff
• Roundtable staff members
• Pack trainers
• Commissioner trainers
• NYLT & Wood Badge staff
• Just about anyone!

Several opportunties are planned in 2009:
