  http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/openrosters/ViewOrgPageLink.asp?LinkKey=16145&orgkey=1934 

A Special Course of Back Country Outdoor Leader Sills is being offered for Venturing:

BCOLS course is aimed at all adults working with older youth regardless of program (Venture Patrol, Varsity Scout, Venturing Crew, or Explorer Post). 

The target audience are leaders planning High Adventure treks at backcountry venues not supported by BSA infrastructure; however, units planning to attend High Adventure bases supported by BSA will find this course useful, inasmuch as unit shakedowns will, most likely, take place in venues not supported by BSA infrastructure.

-                Wilderness First Aid & Personal Hygiene
-                Leave No Trace
-               Terrain Awareness & Land Navigation
-                Cooking & Clean-up
-                Resources
-                Equipment Needs
-                Equipment Maintenance
-                On the Trail Tips
-                Team building & Leadership Development

Part 1 - Addresses ways to effectively work with older youth and covers the detailed preparation and planning that must be done before you go out including risk management. Summarizes the personal and crew equipment used for lightweight camping. Plans are also made for the weekend overnight session.

Part 2 - Participants will practice core leader skills for the outdoor program.  Leave No Trace, navigation (map & compass plus GPS), terrain awareness, expedition menu planning and food preparation, stove and stove maintenance, wilderness first aid issues, expedition health and hygiene, team building.
