Powder Horn is a "hands-on resource management and skills course" for Venturing and Scouting leaders, and youth (age 14 and up) of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).
 

YPT Required: All Adult Participants and Staff must provide their current Youth Protection Training date.

Powder Horn is designed to give Scouting leaders "the contacts and tools necessary to conduct an awesome high-adventure program" in their own Scouting unit. The goals of Powder Horn are to help Scout leaders safely conduct outdoor activities of a fun and challenging nature, provide an introduction to the resources necessary to successfully lead youth through a program of high adventure, and familiarize participants with the skills involved in different high adventure disciplines.

The Powder Horn course will also introduce Venturing leaders to the Ranger youth award program, so adults may better help Venturers meet the Ranger award requirements. Powder Horn presents a wide variety of hands-on high adventure skills experiences and thus is not designed to provide specific skills certifications. This course will be held over a weekend. Youth attendees will get first-hand experience, information, and resources to better prepare them as Event Chairs for their units.
