Training Systems Toolkit
The life cycles of Youth Programme and Training System become shorter all the time. Today a 10-year-old training system can already be considered outdated: the trends in Scouting and the society around it have become shorter. As the time required for designing a training system hasn’t decreased as much, more associations are currently renewing the Training System. The WOSM – European Region saw the need of associations to have a framework or process how to design the Training System.
This Toolkit is the basic support resource offered by the WOSM – European Region resulting from four workshops run by the Region between 2006 and 2008.
The toolkit aims to help associations to design or renew their training systems.
The Training Systems Toolkit includes several documents:
General introduction to the Toolkit
Download the General introduction to the Toolkit here
Training Systems Renewal
The basic element of the Toolkit is material for Training Systems Renewal. This presents a possible process of training system renewal and includes advice for each phase of that process. Different practical appendices, presenting examples from associations or useful tools, are attached to this document. A very practical set of steps to be taken when designing a new training system is given on the end.

Executive Summary
The Toolkit is large and packed with details and some concepts and methods are perhaps new to readers. To help those who need to understand the concept but who do not need the analysis or to use it themselves, there is also the Executive Summary – a shorter version of the basic material.

Training System Tools
In addition to the basic material, we are trying to produce additional tools aimed at enriching the document, share experiences that already exist and provide additional assistance.
