Workshops

One of the defining features of our program is our vast network. Our members and alumni often work for larger companies that could connect us with professional workshop facilitators. See below for a list of workshops we’ve held in the past.

Another key feature of our program, is our freedom to ideate, plan, and facilitate Rover-led workshops. They say, the best way to learn something is to teach it! Workshops are a great way for us to practice preparing material, marketing an event, and facilitating a training session in front of peers on subjects that we are passionate about.


What Kind of Workshops Do We Offer?

Insights

As the first step to becoming a successful leader, it is essential to familiarize yourself with your team’s personalities and working habits. Our program has partnered with Insights Discovery to help Rovers gain a deeper understanding of themselves and improve communication with their team.

Getting the Job

One of the most practical workshops we offer is “Getting The Job”. During this workshop, Rovers are given tips on how to create resumes and cover letters, and are given real-world situations by our more senior Rovers for role-playing. We hope to provide a comprehensive workshop that prepares our Rovers for any type of interview.

Project Management Training

Project Management Training level 1 and 2 provides our members with the skills we would need to put together a project charter, set SMART goals, budget, set milestones, scope creep, lead a team, see a project through to completion, debrief, and archival We have also worked with PM Vancouver, an organization that provides professional support to nonprofit organizations.

Rover Orientation

When a Rover first joins our Crew, orientation is offered so they can get a better sense of how our Crew is structured, what opportunities are available, and ways that they can get involved. We also talk about the history of Scouting globally, nationally, and locally to provide the Rover with a broad perspective as to why our program is valuable.
