Adult Life Cycle
Does your NSO need more adult volunteers? Understanding and supporting volunteering is an essential characteristic of Scouting. On top of this, the adult’s volunteering experience needs to be catered to by preparing and implementing a strategy on what we call the Adult Life Cycle (recruitment, performance, decision for the future, recognition).
Volunteering in Scouting - Position Paper

This is a reference resource also for communicating and advocating for Volunteering.
Volunteers in Scouting Toolkit
For Scouting to grow and develop it needs volunteers who have a wide range of skills and experience. Sometimes the vision of who can volunteer to support Scouting is too narrow, sometimes we are not clear what we expect from our volunteers and sometimes we are not aware what our volunteers expect from us. The Volunteers in Scouting Toolkit covers a series of topics to help National Scout Organizations to consider their approach to volunteering, explore what volunteering means in their country, determine their current situation, have a vision for the future and then make plans to achieve these goals.

Wood Badge Framework
The Wood Badge is a common standard that identifies the levels of training and development required by Adults in Scouting to perform certain roles.

It is an indicator of high-level training competencies, quality training systems, and individual opportunities for development in NSOs.
Wood Badge Competencies
The Principles underpinning the Wood Badge Training Scheme suggests that the WB training programme should cover the development of the competencies in the following topic clusters: Scouting (fundamentals) essentials, Leadership and Team Management, Project Management, Communicating meaningfully, and Adult Development. In this 5x5 competencies proposal, every suggested topic should have a list of competencies developed through various training activities.<br /> Translation to the WOSM working languages is available under WB Framework document.

This manual represents one way to design a new or renew the Training System within a National Scout Organisation.
