Introduction

This CD contains several different training courses: Standard Leadership Training Course, Buckaroos/Straight Arrows Leadership Training Course, Urban Commanders Training Guide, Outpost Councilmen LTC, and a presentation about the Parent/Commander Association. Each of these presentations are in Microsoft PowerPoint '97. The Instructor's Guides that accompany the presentations are in Microsoft Word '97 format. If you do not have PowerPoint and Word, software is provided on this CD for you to be able to view and print these files. The PowerPoint and Word viewers are located in the Viewers directory, and will work under Windows 95 or Windows 98. If you need other viewers, you may download them for free from the Microsoft Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/

If you like the presentations, but wish there were more graphics, feel free to add your own. On the other hand, if you don't like all of the graphics, feel free to delete some of those that are already there, especially if they cause your computer to run too slowly when you are presenting the material.

Some of the presentations have animations, builds, and transitions in them. The Standard LTC and B/SA LTC do not. If you want those items included in either of the LTCs, you can again feel free to add them if you wish. They are not included in this version because of the speed issue, but you may have a fast enough computer that animations, builds, and transitions are not an issue.

All of the presentations have a background that was chosen by the developer of the material. You should be able to change the background if you wish without too much trouble, as most of the text placement, font, color, and size is controlled by the Slide Design. If you pick a different Slide Design, you may have to do some minor editing, but you should be able to customize the appearance of the presentation to suit you and your audience.

The presentations can be shown to your class using a computer and some type of projection equipment, or you can either print out the individual slides to an ink jet printer or print them to paper in black and white and use a photocopier to produce transparencies for your courses.


Standard Leadership Training Course

These materials were originally developed in the Southern California District, and have been modified to assurance compliance with the national LTC teaching guidelines. There are five PowerPoint files, one for each section of the LTC, and five Word documents with the Instructor's Guide for the corresponding sections.

As noted above, animations, builds, and transitions are not included in these presentations. If you would like them included, you can easily add them within PowerPoint.


Buckaroos/Straight Arrows Leadership Training Course

These materials are new to this version of the training CD. The Standard LTC PowerPoint and Word files have been modified to effectively present the B/SA LTC materials. These materials follow the current national standards for the B/SA LTC. Each section of the LTC is in a separate PowerPoint file for the presentation, and a Word document for the instructor's guide.


Urban Commanders Training Guide

This course consists of four PowerPoint presentations that take you and your class through the entire Urban Commanders Training Guide. Graphics and builds are included in these presentations. If they slow your presentation down too much due to a slower computer or limited memory, feel free to remove the graphics and/or builds.


Outpost Councilmen LTC

This presentation does NOT follow the national Outpost Councilmen LTC, and therefore is not a suitable replacement for it for correspondence work. However, it is a useful tool for classroom instruction on the Outpost Councilmen LTC. This presentation is broken down into four sections, and takes about 5 hours to present. The first section provides an introduction to Royal Rangers, and a general introduction to the duties of the Outpost Council.

Section 2 provides a much more detailed look at the duties of the 5 positions on the Outpost Council.

Section 3 deals with the qualifications of leaders in an outpost, training of leaders, chartering, steps in starting an outpost, and guidelines for meetings and meeting areas.

Section 4 deals with child abuse prevention and the proper screening of leaders.

In the OPC_LTC directory on this disk are two other directories: Instructor and Student. The Instructor directory contains the PowerPoint presentations for this course. The Student directory contains corresponding presentations that are designed to be printed out IN OUTLINE VIEW and distributed to the students. You will notice that certain words or phrases are underlined in the Instructor's presentations -- those underlined words are replaced with blanks in the student's presentations. If you print these files out in Outline View, the student's can fill in the blanks as they watch and listen to the presentation. They will walk away from your class with a complete outline of your presentation, and will have to stay alert during it!


Parent/Commander Association

This presentation has a separate Word document that describes and provides addition information about the PCA. This is not a part of any of the other training classes, but may be a presentation you would like to give at a district commanders conference or regional training seminar to help acquaint commanders with this Association.
