The
Purpose of staff development is to form a team to conduct the
conference. The staff are part of the troop, and all members of the staff should come to realize that their most important responsibility is to see that each participant has the opportunity to learn and grow. The staff should strive to present Scouting at its Best.
Staff development activities are designed to help set the tone for the conference. They should provide each staff member with a clear understanding of the program, methods, and skills presented. Planning, preparation, and practice will help ensure a top-notch experience for each conference participant.
Thorough preparation during staff development will give the staff time to work individually with participants and patrols in meeting the overall objectives of the conference. However, take care not to over train the staff so that the conference itself becomes anticlimactic.
