The Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) course builds and expands on the concepts and themes introduced in Scoutmaster Position-Specific Training and provides Scouters with the confidence to take youth into the outdoors. 

Specifically, this hands-on program gives adult leaders a practical introduction to the patrol method of a Scout-led troop by teaching many of the practical outdoor skills they need to lead scouts in the out-of-doors. In addition, the teaching methods, activities, and games model the variety of teaching used in effective and engaging Scouting programs. 

It is designed for Scoutmasters, assistant Scoutmasters, and junior assistant Scoutmasters. However, committee members and other adults connected to a Scout troop are welcome to attend. When Scoutmaster Position-Specific training and introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) have both been completed, new scoutmasters will have the tools need to begin an effective Scouting program. 

If you took the online training for SM/ASM, please attend the mandatory meeting at the conclusion of the SM/ASM classroom training on October 10th from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. During this meeting, important information will be discussed on expectations and patrol formations. Same location.

Registration is required, no walk ins please.
