Seminar for scout leaders (SOK) by Scout Association of Croatia was held in Selce 14.-15.02.2015.
This year, seminar was attended by 60 members from 22 scouts group. With regular seminar for scout leaders, in parallel was held seminar for new scout program (IPI) leaders. These are leaders who have started to work on a new program, or those that are planning to include it in the work of their scout groups in future. Željko Roglić – Klodi, President of Scout Association of Croatian, was in charge for the new program (IPI).
Our young leaders, this year, participated in lectures and workshops, and so they heard something new about the subjects: "The story as a method of work" held by Roberta Selihar and something about the "Childs Rights" by Jasna Milašinović. They could choose two out of three workshops on the topics "Guided fantasy as a form of meeting" by Roberta Selihar, "Game and challenge in the new program" by Philip Vukoja and "Attention and concentration" by Smail Hibeljić.
Adult leaders had their program, and they have heard basic things about the new program, which was explained by Katica Konstantinović - Kaja, the " Childs Rights" lectured by Jasna Milašinović. The "Teamwork" lectured by Stanko Horvat where they were supposed to make the highest tower of spaghetti and marshmallows.
In addition to these topics, the participants watched excellent presentation of National training for scout leaders “Šumska škola 2015”, directed by Jasna Milašinović and Ivana Jarebica, which caused a range of emotions in participants, who felt the atmosphere that should happen in “Šumska škola 2015”.
The evening was reserved for the night race through Selce with various tasks, taking tests, tying knots on the beach, making herbarium and sending messages by flag semaphore.
Roundtables were held by the categories on Sunday morning. They discussed about situations and problems that create difficulties in the work and functioning of the scout unit in general.
I would like to thank everyone who participated in the work and organization of this year Seminar (SOK) starting from scout units that, despite delayed date, managed to send their members to the seminar, and all other members of the organizing team, because without them SOK wouldn’t be SOK and therefore, Jase, Jare, Vukoja, Roberta, Goga, Kaja, Smail, Stiv, Davor, Mutni, Tamara, Darija, Klodi, Kruno – THANK YOU very much!!! If I forgot someone, it wasn’t intentionally.
