IOLS is a hands-on outdoor orientation to provide you with the skills needed to plan and carry out outdoor experiences with your Troop.

The IOLS course is conducted in an outdoor setting to provide you with the experience and hands-on orientation to how a Scouts BSA Troop should camp and introduce you to many of the skills scouts will learn as they progress from the rank of Scout through First Class. As such, the course content will be a presented in a combination of classroom style presentations and hands-on instruction. During the course, you will camp and cook using the patrol method.
