This course is designed for adult leaders to learn the outdoor skills they need to teach Scouts through the First Class rank.  Instructors will help you learn how to set up camp, to cook, to work with wood tools and ropes, first aid, planning campfire programs, map reading and compass skills, hiking and packing technigues, nature identification, and Leave No Trace.  

Each outdoor session will bring to life the pages of the Boy Scout Handbook to help deliver the promise of Scouting to yourself and the youth you serve.  It will increase your comfort level and give you confidence as a trained leader.  The program will also give you the opportunity to work with other Scout leaders from your area, meet new friends, and reinforce skill techniques with fellow unit leaders.
