Purpose of this Course

To safely offer Scouting’s outdoor program, you need the skills and knowledge necessary to tackle the same challenges your scouts will face on their adventures, so you can best prepare them for what lies ahead.  You will learn how to build a fire, use an axe, cook outdoors, use a map and compass, responsibly care for the outdoors, and much more. Even if you were not a Scout as a kid, you will come out of this course looking and acting like a seasoned camper.  This course, combined with Youth Protection Training and the Scoutmaster-Specific Training course, will make you an "fully trained" Scouts BSA leader.
