2021-2022 Rock Climbing and Rappelling Instructor Training
2021-2022 Rock Climbing and Rappelling Instructor Training
The Wednesday night and weekend training course is required to become a Qualified Rock Climbing/Rappelling Instructor for the Greater St. Louis Area Council sites. You will receive site specific training for the natural climbing areas at S Bar F Ranch, and for the climbing towers at Beaumont, Camp Lewallen, and Camp Warren Levis. Climbing training qualifies you to take your unit climbing at our council’s climbing program sites and to lead rappelling on the Beaumont Tower (Scouts BSA or Venturing only, Cub Scouts are not permitted to rappel). S bar F Scout Ranch has permanent anchors installed for climbing and rappelling.
If you can’t make the Wednesday evening training session you will still be able to take the weekend training, but you must call the Climbing Training Course Director. That Wednesday, everyone will receive knot training, a detailed equipment list, and training about equipment and what to bring for weekend training and the Saturday camp at the climbing area.
