Powder Horn is an amazing, out-of-the-box, mind-expanding course that introduces and exposes Venturing and Scouting youth and adult leaders to the activities and resources necessary to operate a successful outdoor, high adventure unit-level program. Based on the eight core requirements and eighteen electives of the Venturing Ranger program, Powder Horn helps adult leaders learn about and use resources to conduct unit-level high adventure programs.

Instead of qualifying you as a trainer or an expert, Powder Horn will give you tremendous resources so your youth can enjoy an exciting, high adventure program, and all these resources and experiences are presented in an amazingly fun environment by experts in their fields.

The course will be held at Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation, November 8-10, 2019 and will cost $150.00.
