<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #232323;">I am planning to update the Council's trainer list and need two to three volunteers to help me contact trainers to confirm their contact information, training interests and availability, as well as, to catch anyone who may have recently fallen off the list. Project time commitment: a total of 8-10 hours per volunteer for phoning, e-mailing and team meetings (on the phone). This project will start in mid November and with volunteer help should be completed by the end of January. If you are interested in volunteering please contact me (plainlytraining@gmail.com).</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #232323;">Well the new Scouting year has finally arrived and signs of Area in-person Wood Badge I training courses are beginning to surface in Nova Scotia Council. I can report that Kings is organizing section WBI training courses to be held in late November and Cape Breton Island is organizing a Group Commissioners WBI training course for early 2014. Out of Area leaders are welcome to attend these courses. Stay tuned to this blog for more information or contact me directly (plainlytraining@gmail.com).</span></div>

<br />
<br />
For starters, thank them for learning how to make their best.. better. Among other things, their training, personal commitment and experience brings value to the program so let them know you appreciate their contribution!<br />
<br />
What about encouraging them to 'work' what they have brought back from training. Challenge them to take on something new in the section. Remember 'Learn by Doing' is one of the best ways to transform knowledge into skill!<br />

When the new accreditation system comes in to force, Council will assess both trainer training experience and knowledge towards the appropriate accreditation level/step. </div>
