Storytelling Workshop-Philmont Scout Ranch
I believe the workshop was very valuable to me as a scouting volunteer. As a novice in the storytelling arena, I can tell you that the instructors took the time to not only lecture, but also to educate. The members of the workshop learned skills that were new and different from what they had used before. In true scouting manner, the instructors put the EDGE principles of Explain, Demonstrate, Guide and Enable into practice with each of the participants.
