TRAINING: Bevölkerungsschutz für alle – SPARTANAT.com
The current events show us: Sometimes things happen very quickly. If you don’t have certain skills at that point, you can’t acquire them anymore. So it’s better to be prepared. Since 2017, Lehrmanufaktur has been offering a holistic training concept for crisis preparedness. The courses will take place for the first time in 2022 all consecutively as “Scout-Week” from July 24 to 30 in Unterfranken. The focus of all formats is the development of a resilient mindset that can do without bunkers and cellars full of food. Minimal equipment dependency and maximum flexibility are the order of the day. In order to offer the most efficient training possible, no separate dates for specific types of disasters are offered, but a defined reference scenario for all participants. Unfortunately, currently very topical: As a worst-case scenario, training leader Christian Väth has chosen a war in the homeland. Thus, the former infantry officer follows the assessment of the German Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance, which states that such a war represents “the worst imaginable catastrophe,” as it includes other scenarios such as the failure of critical infrastructure or certain damage events from natural disasters. Train hard, fight easy. The seminar is optional, all other Scout courses build on each other.

Participants receive their own private rooms in a specially prepared training hall to protect their preparation information. The instructors guide each person through a measure structure that results in comprehensive planning for crisis preparedness for their own living area. Personalized maps and other documents are provided as well as supply lists for specific critical goods such as drinking water.
The basic training lasts about 24 hours. Core topics include movement under self-protection in disaster areas, orientation, and methods of minimalist communication in an assorted group. All content is designed so that in a group of survivors there is only one scout who can lead not only healthy men and women but also children, the elderly, and the sick to safety. The scout is primarily a multiplier. Nevertheless, situations where multiple scouts work together are also presented. The material starting point for scout training is a backpack filled with specific equipment – the mass of items can be found in every household. The goal is to need fewer and fewer of these helpers over the course of the training. The course takes place entirely outdoors. In order to achieve the required learning curve better, all sections are completed in a 2-person team. So, if you want to sign up, you either work with a participant unknown to you beforehand or bring a friend or family member with you. Those who pass the course become part of the community and regularly receive free specialist information as well as invitations to additional training events.
In a little over 24 hours, participants learn to analyze disaster situations and set up a situation center. This center is then fed with information through their own reconnaissance, and everyone works as a team to manage the situation. Throughout the event, all participants learn step by step how to apply the “universal leadership process.” Here, you learn not only for the disaster scenario but also for the more pleasant stages of life. This leads to an even stronger, positive group dynamic than in the basic course.
The certification for a scout takes about 36 hours and demands a lot from the participants. The specific design of the course is not disclosed in advance and is only known to graduates. However, one thing is certain: it is about applying everything that has been learned before and reaching a certain standard. The focus here is on further education to become a leader. Those who pass this hurdle have access to the instructor program: the best scouts can be further trained by Christian Väth to become scout instructors and offer certain formats themselves.
A prerequisite for participation in the qualification is participation in training as a Field Responder, the advanced course for the first aid course Range Responder. The next dates for these two TCCC courses are in April and October.

Applications for the training as a Scout are accepted via [email protected]. Anyone who simply registers for the courses without knowing Christian Väth (pictured) should expect a free evaluation. Not everyone can become a Scout.
