1. Recruiting & Promotion
Good Morning.
You can see from my totem that I used to be a Beaver.
Handouts will be distributed at the end of my presentation, so don’t spend too much time copying what’s on the charts, but it would be a good idea to make notes of key points and discussion items.
Of course, feel free to ask questions at any time.
And awaaaaay we go.

2. What is Wood Badge?
Scouting's PREMIER TRAINING PROGRAM for all adult leaders, including you. LEADERSHIP TRAINING, applicable to all scouting positions, A TOOL FOR IMPROVING all scouting programs, ……………………………..including yours.
Why is it important to understand the stages of team development.?
It enables us to anticipate what a team is likely to go through. This will prevent team members from being surprised or depressed by various events such as disagreements during the storming stage.
It enables us to use appropriate strategies to smooth the progress of a team through the different stages. For example, we can suggest a procedure for establishing ground rules for a team in the norming stage.
It helps suggest suitable leadership and team member’s behaviors during each stage of the team’s development. More on leadership tomorrow.
However, here are a few words of caution.
Different teams may proceed through different stages at different speeds, a process that can be affected by the fact that team members may also have varying rates of progress. As I said before, team members need to be careful to avoid making self-fulfilling prophecies about how long each stage will last.
A team may sometimes regress to an earlier stage. For example, team members may return to a previous stage if they discover that the team’s mission or membership has changed, such as when a significant number of new boys are added to a patrol. Or when a pack committee member bridges to a Troop
It is possible for a team to be in different stages with respect to different aspects of its mission. For example, a venturing crew may be in the performing stage as it pertains to its activities, and at the same time in the storming change while trying to decide on a crew uniform. N
