Introduction to OUTDOOR Leader Skills (IOLS) TRAINING for Scouting LEADERS

October 5-6, 2024

Camp Snyder, Haymarket 

Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) gives adult leaders the practical knowledge they need to help Scouts to learn outdoor skills. The skills presented closely follow the Boy Scout Handbook and rank advancement requirements. All the skills from Tenderfoot to First Class are covered in this training.

This is a required training course for all Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters. It is also encouraged for anyone who will be participating on campouts regularly to consider taking this class. The training is designed to help all adult leaders regardless of experience level feel comfortable performing and supervising these skills with youth.

Note: This is an outdoor overnight camping activity. Participants need to bring their own tent and camping equipment (more details to follow on specifically what equipment will be required).
