Unless indicated otherwise, all requirements for the Adult Leader Training should be covered in class.
REGISTERING ADULTS ON-LINE
Please note that all participants are registered by troop. One leader from each pack, troop, or crew may register all adult volunteers. If this is not possible, adults may register separately. The process is very similar to going to summer camp.
1. Before you register, you need to do a few things first.
a. If you register for your self, it is required that you check the box
marked “Unit Leader” on the “User Profile” information page. You get
there by pressing the “My Profile” button on the main page.
b. Next, to help you in the registration process, it is advisable that
you print out a hard copy of the classes offered on the first page of
the web site and a hard copy of these registration directions before
you proceed.
c. Now press the “Unit Sign Up” button at the top of the first page
of event.
d. You are now on the “Scout Registration” page.
1. Press the drop down menu arrow for all upcoming events to
locate the “University of Scouting: Adult Leader Training;
Tuscaloosa, AL” Click on it.
2. Go to the bottom of the same page and locate your name in
the “Unit Leader Roster.” It should have a “No” next to your
name under “Attending Event.” Press the blue “Toggle” button
to change “No” to “Yes.” Now you may register for classes.
3. Now enter your first name, last name, phone number, and
e-mail. For age, please, enter 20 from the drop down menu. Of
note this online system is adapted from a Merit Badge system
for Boy Scouts and Venture Crews.
4. To register for your first class you must first select a
“Session” time from the drop down menu to find out what
classes are offered at that time. You then select one from all of
the classes offered at that time. The logic is like channel surfing
TV to find out what is offered at a particular time. This is where
the class list you printed out a few moments ago comes in
handy. You then press the “Add” button and you are now
registered for that one class. If you registered for the wrong
class or change you mind later, just hit the delete button next to
the class by your name.
5. To register for a second class you go to a different time and
select from that list of classes. Please, make sure that if you
select a two hour class, you skip an hour before you select
another class. For example, if you select a 2 hour class
beginning at 0900, you should not sign up for another class until
1100.
2. Now you are ready to pay. Please, see the section below on Payment Instructions.
a. If you are experiencing any technical problems, please, contact
William Aldridge or David Wilson by using the above contact
information. Once you have learned the process, please, help others.
ERROR MESSAGES AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
1. If you ever encounter an error message, just hit the back arrow on your web browser and press the "update" button again. If it fails after two attempts, please e-mail William Aldridge or David Wilson. Also, please include your day and night phone.
2. I have noticed that it takes two attempts to enter the Council name and District name. When you enter the Council name and District name, please check the drop-down menu first. For members of the Black Warrior Council, please use the drop-down menu. Please register by January 18, 2007.
Please note that instructors request e-mail or telephone numbers for coordination.
