What is Tread Lightly?  Tread Lightly! and its partners lead a national initiative to protect and enhance recreation access and opportunities by promoting outdoor ethics to heighten individuals’ sense of good stewardship. Tread Lightly!’s goal is to balance the needs of the people who enjoy outdoor recreation with our need to maintain healthy ecosystems and thriving populations of fish and wildlife. The scope of our work includes both land and water, and is representative of nearly every form of outdoor recreation including, but not limited to hunting, recreational shooting, fishing and boating. For more information the Tread Lightly! Website is accessible at treadlightly.org. 

Who should attend? This course is open to adult Scouters, and Venturers, 18 years of age and older who are interested in learning more about the 5 principles of Tread Lightly! and how to effectively teach those principles and associated skills. All participants who complete this course will be recognized as Tread Trainers by Tread Lightly! Inc. 

Course Description: Tread Lightly!®’s Tread Trainer™ (TT) course is an 8-hour course designed to provide a “crash course” in outdoor ethics focusing on motorized and mechanized recreation on both land and water.
