Leave No Trace Trainer Class

This 16-hour course trains interested individuals ages 14 and older to serve as Leave No Trace Trainers. Trainers are the backbone of Scouting’s outdoor ethics program, providing instruction to individuals and units wishing to adopt cutting-edge outdoor ethics into their unit programs. Trainers are specially commissioned to teach the BSA Leave No Trace 101 course and to qualify individuals for the BSA Leave No Trace Awareness card. Each BSA Trainer course is taught by a recognized Leave No Trace Master Educator, so your Trainer standing is recognized nationally by the BSA’s partner, the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. Note that the overnight requirement for this course is currently being waived due to Covid.

• Participants will give an assigned 15-minute presentation on a Leave No Trace topic during the field experience.
