Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.

One of the ways that we teach our scouts is the EDGE method of learning.   This system is dedicated to using multiple learning methods for every topic that is conveyed.  

What does EDGE mean?

Explain how it is done - Tell them
Demonstrate the steps - Show them
Guide learners as they practice - Watch them do it
Enable them to succeed on their own - Use memory aids, practice it, they teach it

ALL THE TRAINING IN THE WORLD IS USELESS TO THE WORLD UNLESS YOU SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD     

WHO HAVE YOU MENTORED TODAY??

   

Troops are encouraged to establish their own programs using Troop Program Features, volumes I
(No. 33110), II (No. 33111), and III (No. 33112), along with any other Scouting-appropriate resources.
Because of the flexibility afforded units to meet the needs of their Scouts, it is possible they will not
follow the same monthly program themes that were planned or presented at the yearly planning sessions.
