Who is required to have completed Trainers Development Conference (TDC) when participating on an Occoneechee Council Course Staff?
The recent revision to the Occoneechee Council Training Administrative guide states that only the Course Director is required to complete TDC (unless the course syllabus states otherwise). This change in policy recognizes that many Scouting Courses require external instructors from outside the scouting family. It is not feasible to require these individuals to attend TDC prior to participating on a course staff. It is incumbent on the course director to ensure that all staff members meet the requirements outlined in the course syllabus. On another note, TDC is a great course and I would encourage everyone to take the course.
