Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills

This is THE outdoor leader training for Scouts BSA Leaders

Specifically, this hands-on program gives adult leaders a practical introduction to the patrol method of a Scout led troop by teaching many of the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors.  

In addition, the teaching methods, activities, and games model the variety of teaching methods used in effective and engaging Scouting programs.  Hands on participation is the best learning tool, and this course models the techniques used by effective Scoutmasters, Advisors, and other adult leaders in the Scouting program.  Attendees will see and experience various aspects of how Scouting works while playing the role of Scouts in a troop.

This is course #S11, a required course for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters to earn their “Trained” status.
