All Scouts and Scouters with responsibility for training others are strongly encouraged to participate in the Trainer's EDGE. This includes District Trainers, members of the Council Training Committee, NYLT staff members - youth and adult, Wood Badge staff members, University of Scouting facilitators, etc.
From the Trainer's EDGE syllabus:
The Trainer’s EDGE replaces the Trainer Development Conference (BSA 500) as the required train-the-trainer course for Wood Badge and NYLT staffs. The purpose of the Trainer’s EDGE course is to provide and help develop the platform skills of a trainer. It is meant to supplement the practice offered through Wood Badge and NYLT staff development, with a focus on the participant, while raising the level of skill a trainer brings to the staff experience. Only practice can polish these skills, but this course is intended to "train the trainer" on behaviors and resources while offering hands-on experience in methods and media
