Scouting America Climbing Level I & II Training is a weekend event at the Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp Climbing Tower complex that is offered twice a year.  Attendance Friday evening through Sunday develops competency needed to qualify for Scouting America Level I and Level II Climbing Certification. Class starts on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and will end by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. This course is for scouters who want to learn how to rig the tower for unit climbing events and for mature older scouts, age 14 - 17, who want to staff the tower at Winter Camp or Summer Camp, or help with unit climbing events. Youth older than 16 and younger than 18 can earn Instructor in Training. You will learn how to belay, properly wear helmets & harnesses, tie climbing knots, rig a climb, and rig a releasable rappel. You will practice rigging the tower multiple times so you will be comfortable with the gear.
