Leave No Trace is an educational, non-profit movement dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors by all people, worldwide.  The Leave No Trace concept is one that crosses all boundaries of the recreation spectrum and is applicable for anyone who enjoys spending time in the out-of-doors. The idea is simple – leave the places you enjoy as good as or better than you found them. Both skills and ethics are involved, as well as good decision-making.  For more information about Leave No Trace, check out: http://www.lnt.org

This is a BSA Leave No Trace Master Educator Trainers Course. This course is a two-weekend version of a five-day course that trains passionate individuals to serve as Leave No Trace Master Educators.  Master Educators work with their council's outdoor ethics advocate to provide Leave No Trace Trainer, and outdoor ethics awareness courses. Each BSA Master Educator course is taught by a set of nationally designated Master Educator Instructors, so your Master Educator standing is recognized nationally by the BSA's partner, the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics and other agencies. https://lnt.org/learn/training-structure
