BRIONES DISTRICT PRESENTS

OUTDOOR LEADER SKILLS TRAINING

(REQUIRED FOR ALL SCOUTMASTERS, ASSISTANT SCOUTMASTERS, & VENTURING ADVISORS-High Adventure)

The Briones District invites Leaders, Committee Members & interested parents to participate in an Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills. This is a fun-filled program of hands-on skill training in the outdoors, designed to help you master the basic camping skills required to advance from Tenderfoot to First Class Scout.

The course’s Troop Guides will help you learn how to set up camp, cook, work with woods tools and about ropes, first aid, planning campfire programs, map reading and compass skills, hiking and packing techniques, nature identification and Leave No Trace. These sessions will bring to life the pages of the Scouts BSA Handbook to help you deliver the promise of Scouting to the youth you serve. You will also have an opportunity to work with other Scout leaders from our area, make new friends and reinforce skill techniques with fellow unit leaders.
