Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) 

This training is taking place during Rivers Edge Camporee

April 25 - 26. 2025

Registration closes April 18, 2025

Working as patrols, this hands-on course provides adult leaders the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors. Upon completion, leaders should feel comfortable teaching Scouts the basic skills required to obtain the First Class rank. Along with Scoutmaster Specifics this course is required of all direct contact leaders registered in Scouts BSA Troops in order to be considered “trained”.

All participants will be expected to spend Friday night camping on site.  IOLS will start at 7PM on Friday, and end after campfire on Saturday.

No walk-ons or onsite registration will be permitted.

Participants will need to bring their 10 essentials, meal kit, water bottle/coffee mug. A syllabus with more detail will be emailed to participants before the course. 

Except for Saturday breakfast, participants will be expected to eat all of their meals with the unit they came with.

For those who did not come with a unit, Saturday Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner will be provided.
