It should be adapted to each function and to each individual on the basis of a detailed analysis of that individuals training needs and previous experience.

3.2 Training

It should be considered as a continuous process and the adults regular contact and activities within his or her team must be considered as part of the learning process. National Scout Organizations are invited to develop a systematic process to support and validate such non formal training.

Training Systems
Please describe what kind of training system you have in your Associations with Post-Its. Then we will share it in groups. Time 15 min + 30 min.

Training Needs Analyses

Training needs maybe identified: - before training - during training - after training Please brainstorm what could be done in these situations in small groups. Time 10+10 minutes.

Support Systems
Experience has shown that in many Associations the support for Adults stops after he/she is appointed and trained.

Associations must enedeavour to have this support as on-going process throughout the whole life cycle of the Adult in Scouting.
