1st Trumpton - OSM Training Section
-
Why have you created 1st Trumpton?
- It's been identified and recognised that we throw volunteers in at the deep end with regards to the technologies that we use witnin/without MKScouts in order to deliver exciting and informative Scouting.
This is part of an intiative to build optional training courses that fill those skills gaps in technologies such as Office365, Online Scout Manager, Zoom, Sage, Wordpress etc.
The District Exec recognises that we need to break down barriers to volunteers joining, part of that is investing in resources to make Scouting less daunting, and support those who scout at the moment, and demonstrate that #SkillsForLife doesn't just apply to Young People.
1st Trumpton is not connected to any discount codes, because that means it would appear in the County Dashboard
-
What is 1st Trumpton?
- 1st Trumpton is a fictional Scout Group in the noble county of Trumptonshire, currently it only has a Beaver Colony, of somewhat older Beaver scouts, somewhat oddly named after children from past children's TV shows
1st Trumpton was created to enable a safe section to train adult volunteers in Milton Keynes Scout District without the fear of breaking something in their own sections
-
Is the data real in 1st Trumpton?
- In a word, no. Much of the data has been blanked and re-used from existing records, only the Date of Birth is from a real record, post codes have been anonymised, as has email address
