Whats up with this
Kodiak thing?
Venturing's Nature of Leadership Program (NOL) is designed
to develop the Venturer's leadership skills using exciting and fun leadership
learning experiences.
Phase 1 of NOL is the Venturing
Leadership Skills Course (VLSC), which covers four leadership
skills. Crew 1717 last ran a course in April of 2008. Those who
completed the course were entitled to wear the Venturing Trained
Patch |
|
Phase 2 called Kodiak is a six day trek-oriented
course providing five leadership skills called commissions.
Kodiak is oriented around a high adventure trek or trip setting
with leadership training built into the six-day program. The course
prepares the Venturer to be a "servant leader" as they
lead their crew or troop. Servant leadership as a philosophy teaches
that the leader works with and through a team to accomplish the
mission. |
