Personally Speaking viuh ckr

I am happy to note that The Bharat Scouts and Guides has almost completed 72 years of service in our nationbuilding by activating the youth to prepare themselves as efficient citizens. To mark its entry into 73rd year, Foundation Day will be celebrated on 07th November, 2022.Thisistheoccasionforustoexpressourgratitudeto allourwell-wishersforpromotingScoutingandGuiding.It is also the occasion to recollect the significant efforts and sacrifice displayed by our Veteran Scout-Guide Leaders who gave a solid foundation to the future. I appeal to all the members of the movement to make it financially strong by contributing to the Bharat Scouts and Guides WelfareFund.

It is a Historic Moment for The Bharat Scouts and Guides thatourHon’blePrimeMinisterShriNarendraModiJiand our Guides Ms. Shruti Mehta and Ms. Rani Vaghela of Gujarat State Bharat Scouts and Guides got a great opportunity to travel in Ahmedabad Metro with him. Our guides honoured the Prime Minister with the Bharat Scouts and Guides Salute. They both had a very amazing conversation with the Prime Minister regarding the steps taken by the Bharat Scouts and Guides in Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and briefed him about Scouting Guiding Activitiesandrecentevents.

Recently, we observed the International Day of the Girl. This is the 10th Anniversary of the event. This year is a wake-up call to refocus attention on girls and solutions to their problems. Let us give them the opportunity to lead byputtingthemintheforefrontofactivities;hearingtheir voices; responding to their problems and welcoming them in decision-making spaces- it is one of the ways to investinthefuture.

IwishallourmembersaHappyFoundationDay(FlagDay).

TRAINER’S CORNER

HOW TO TEACH SKILLS TO SCOUTS USING EDGE METHOD

The EDGE method is one of the most important teaching methods to know, not only for leadership inScoutingbutalsoforteachinganythinginlife.Wecanusethismethodfromsimpletasksliketying a knot, to more intensive tasks like building a pioneering project. This method will surely help our unitleadersoncoursesoronfellowscoutsofatrooptolearnquicklyandthoroughly.

WhatexactlyistheEDGEMethod?

EDGEmethodisafour-stepteachingprocessthatinvolves:

• Explainingthetask

• Demonstratingthestepsofthetask

• GuidingScoutsthroughthestepsofthetask

• EnablingtheScoutstothetaskontheirown.

LETUSGOINTODETAILS:

E- The first step of the EDGE method is to explain some background of the task. Here the participants (Leaders or Scouts) should be made to understand why and what they are learning such a task. Explaining the task include: what you will be doing; why you will be doing it; Use of a visual aid to help the explanation more sense. Give a short explanation on why it`s important to learn thetask.Herewecantellhowthetaskcanbeusedinothersituations.

D-Demonstrating the steps of the task is important for the Scouts to see the correct way a skill is performed. Firstly, the correct way to do the task is to be shown. Secondly, be talking them throughout the task about the task on hand. Thirdly, the leader has to check if the task is performedinacorrectway.

G- Guiding the scout through the steps of the task is another important thing. Scout is to be guided to do the task correctly as expected. Guidance may be given by talking about each step slowly; assisting them whenever they seem to be going off track; the leader should have patience to observe the learner. Without proper guidance by the leader, the participant will do the tak wrongly. Hence leader should observe closely and guide wherever required. Leader has to pay

individual attention while the learner practise the task. Guidance will be more effective if each stepoftheprocessisshownusingvisualaids.

E- Last step in EDGE method is to enable a scout to do the task completely on his own, without leader`s help. The following steps are to be followed to enable the artici0ant to do the task completelyandcorrectly:

• Asktheparticipanttodothetaskonhisowninyourpresence.

• Letthemdothetaskinarelatedorinaneasierway.

• Testtheparticipantatalaterdate.

• Encouragetheparticipantwhiledoing,butbeavailableforhelpincasetheyneedit

• Allowthemtorepeattheskillanduseitinnewways.

EDGEMETHODismostsuitabletoexplainthescoutskills. Wehavebeenusingthismethodonourcoursesinthesession`HowtotakeB.P.Six.` Let us try this method as frequently as possible particularly for First Aid, Knotting, Pioneering and other skill areas so that we, as trainers will be able to contribute to develop their skills qualitatively andinacreativeway.
