Volunteer Recruitment and Development (VRAD)
This section explains Scouts Canada's Volunteer Recruitment and Development strategy. You, as leaders, are encouraged to become familiar with this document and refer to it regularly whatever your role may be in our Movement.
If we “do our best” to ensure all Scouters are properly recruited, developed, supported, and recognized, the end result will be a Movement prepared to meet the needs of youth today and in the future. This section will provide section Scouters with the support you need to meet the challenge of developing tomorrow's leaders in our society.
This set of learning objectives is designed to make the leader development evaluation process more user-friendly than ever before. They are strictly competency-based: previous experience, and demonstrated skills and abilities are now fully considered when evaluating leader qualifications.
Orientation Objectives |
| Once the interview and reference checks are complete, and the new leader has provided a clean police records check, the new leader wil be introduced to the program through an Orientation. The information new leaders need to receive at this time is summarized in the Orientation Objectives. |

Woodbadge Basic Learning Objectives |
| The Woodbadge Basic Objectives are typical activities leaders engage in when planning, delivering, evaluating and managing weekly programs - as well as annual program planning. Leaders requiring additional training/development can acquire these skills through on-the-job training, coaching/mentoring or by attending workshops. |

Woodbadge Basics Self-Help Resource
|
In keeping with our VRAD process (Volunteer Recruitment and Development), we are pleased to provide the following “self-help” resource. It has been developed to assist new leaders with completing the Woodbadge Basic Learning Objectives. This resource, although comprehensive, may NOT contain all the detailed information available through the use of all Scouting resources within a section. It will, however, provide the information that is needed for a leader to function effectively at the weekly section meeting. You will find throughout the document a number of direct links to resources. We will continue to expand the material in this manner as we progress. By using this resource (reading the material) and actively demonstrating the competencies where indicated, new leaders will quickly attain all the skills required to become an effective member of the leadership team. |
