INTRODUCTION TO OUTDOOR LEADERSHIP SKILLS

Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills
Outdoor skills are critical to the success of the Scouting program. The Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills training will provide leaders with the basic outdoor skills information needed to start a program right.

Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills is the required outdoor training for all Scoutmasters, assistant Scoutmasters, and Varsity Scout coaches. The skills taught are based on the outdoor skills found in The Boy Scout Handbook.

The course is also ideal for Venturing leaders because it focuses on skills that build confidence and competence in leaders conducting outdoor camping experiences.

The course is a day and a half long, but a leader can move at an accelerated pace by demonstrating mastery of a specific skill. The emphasis is on the skill, rather than on attending the course.

Course Prerequisites:

• Be a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America,
• Completed Youth Protection training for Venturing, Varsity Scouts or Boy Scouts within the past 12 months
• Have a current BSA Class III Physical
