Requirement Sign-off for Troops & Packs - What is an Instructor?

<p>In a Pack, the sign-off responsibilities are delegated to the adult Den leadership and parents. In a Troop, this may be delegated to senior <em>(First Class rank or higher) </em>youth with adult leadership oversight. This position of the Instructor in a troop is part of the youth leadership corps. Each unit has its own protocol. The following recommendations of what ScouterStan has seen that works. &nbsp;</p> <p>The Troop Youth Instructor Recommendations:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Star Rank or higher • Maturity as determined by the Scoutmaster team</li> <li>ILST/NYLT trained</li> <li>Scoutmaster Approval &amp; Appointment to Troop Instructor</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;The Troop Instructor teaches Scout Skills using the EDGE method. The youth can also sign-off on non-adult leader requirements up to First Clase rank. The Scoutmaster should make it clear to youth instructors that they only sign-off on skills they have taught or witnessed. No backdating. &nbsp;</p> <p>🌎<strong> Online Guide to Advancement:</strong> &nbsp;<a href="https://www.scouting.org/resources/guide-to-advancement/ ">https://www.scouting.org/resources/guide-to-advancement/&nbsp;</a></p> <p>🎬<strong> Troop Leader Resources 'Instructor': &nbsp;</strong><a href="https://troopleader.scouting.org/instructor/">https://troopleader.scouting.org/instructor/</a></p>
