Greetings!

Objective of this course is to present a short session about teamwork for scout leaders. Since the leaders organize patrols into teams, firstly, it is essential to grasp understanding of the term "team", what type of team can be called "effective" or "successful". This is important in order to avoid blindly following scouting program about teambuilding. Another issue is excessive usage of teambuilding exercises when the leaders are not aware what is their purpose. After this course, scout leaders can consider for what reason they conduct an activity with a troop.

Leaders themselves are involved as team members in a scout organization which always has the mission and vision, leaders strive together for the success and in the organization they see different stages of team development though sometimes it is hard to name it.
