Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills

  Outdoor skills are critical to the success of the Scouting program,

  and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills will provide leaders with

  the basic outdoor skills information needed to start a program right.

  Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) is the required outdoor

  training for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters. The skills taught

  are based on the outdoor skills found in The Boy Scout Handbook.

  The overnight campout course focus is on the skills that build confidence

  and competence in leaders conducting outdoor camping experiences.  This

  training is also ideal for Venturing Advisors, if they have crews with outdoor

  programs. The fall session will be held at:
