Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills

Firestone, March 16-17, 2024

Working as patrols, this hands-on course provides adult leaders the practical 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. This weekend course is an overnighter and is one of the required courses for direct contact leaders in Scouts BSA troops.
