Everywhere is full of advice and instructions for working with scout teams, elderly and wandering. Multi -level teams went a bit away, That's why I will try to explain a bit how I have been doing so far, when various methodological divisions appeared in my unit.
According to the creation of a cluster, teams, circle and specialty club in force from 1 September 2015 year, The multi -level team is
"Basic ZHP organizational unit operating in the detachment, whose terraced members are children and adolescents belonging to more than one methodological group;”
Speaking, We have many scouts of all ages. This situation poses a team of many organizational problems- he must know more than one methodology. So how do you bite it, that everything works as it should?
1. A replacement system is a must.
We are not able to work without a system of hosts. Only the association of our scouts in smaller groups, As required by the methodology of relevant age groups, will allow us to properly educate the pupils. That's why team, If he hasn't done it yet, He should divide the team members into the hosts as soon as possible, patrols. The problem arises, when it is not very possible. Then for some time (!) there may be scout groups, elderly and wandering not hosts.
2. Adhesive for relevant methodologies
To relieve the team, He should appoint an adjutant, who train in the appropriate methodological groups and start working with them. Who knows, Maybe in a year, Two will become team?
The task of such an adjutant is to decide on the appropriate methodological division (Of course, under the supervision of the team), Running collections, Managing the work of hosts.
3. A well -functioning team council.
The council may sit on the council and the host of the whole team. But important, that the relevant methodological division would decide about the work of their age group. Then too, decisions are made accordingly for the methodologies:
In scout methodology, The team makes decisions with the help of the council (substitute, and other members of its choice), However, focusing primarily on the target group (10-12 lat). In our case, Team and adjutant appointed to work with younger scouts have the most to say. Do not ignore the voice of the substitutes!
In the olderharcer methodology zastępowi służą radą i wychodzą z własnymi propozycjami pracy w drużynie. (13-15 lat) Team and adjutant has full freedom of the decision, However, they should take into account the opinion of the replacement.
In the migratory methodology, It is the oldest members who decide about their patrol and the team chair in these decisions.
Councils can take place together or separately, Depending on this, it suits the team. However, you have to remember, that the latter option allows you to more accurately analyze the problems of appropriate methodological groups.
4. Analyzing the existing collection system.
It is impossible to collect all the divisions every week in one place and time, with the simultaneous use of the possibilities offered by methodology. That is why it is worth changing your collection system.
Assuming, that the month has 4 weeks, you can organize work as follows
In the first week odbywają się zbiórki wszystkich pionów, at different times, or simply in different places. The point is that it is a collection of a methodical division, not a team.
In the second and third week odbywają się zbiórki zastępów, patrol.
In the fourth week spotyka się cała drużyna w jednym miejscu i czasie. You can give up the latter in favor of e.g.. joint camping, night, parties. Then the week may remain empty (which I definitely do not recommend) or the collections of hosts jump here,patrol.
Thanks to such an organization, We influence the work of all methodologies. However, it is worth creating calendars, That everyone would know when and where the collections take place. After a few months, everyone will remember 😉
5. Accurate and reliably planned team program.
The multi -level team program should take into account the features of all methodologies. The, The intentions should be determined for the whole team, but also separately for each vertical. It is worth asking for help to the appropriate governors or friendly teams. Just like with goals, The schedules should also be different for different age groups.

6. Joint events of the whole team.
At least once every two months, the whole team should be able to meet in one group. This promotes integration and avoids the situation, in which members of one team are alien to themselves. Sleeping, bivouac, rally, collection, festival ... there are many possibilities!
7. Cooperation with governors.
The governor is a person with more experience in working with teams, Therefore, this should be the first person to whom we turn for help. In a multi -level team, The team and adhesive should go to the Governorship meetings, properly prepared for work in its methodology.
Working with a multi -level team is a challenge, However, it gives a lot of satisfaction if it is conducted in the right way.
