IOLS Scouts BSA Outdoor Leader Training

This training is for Scouts BSA and Venture Leaders. Participants are immersed in the Patrol Method in this hands-on training session. The goal of this course is to provide a working model of the boy-led troop learning many of the basic Scouting skills needed to attain the rank of First Class Scout. Adult leaders will experience skills instruction via the EDGE method in the context of a weekend camp out with the troop, all wrapped up in plenty of Scout Spirit! This course is required of all direct contact leaders registered in Scouts BSA Troops in order to wear the Trained patch, and is a prerequisite for Wood Badge. 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.
