Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) – August 29-30
Register via the form below! Closes end of day, Thursday, August 20th.
IOLS training is an important and enjoyable part of the basic Scouting preparations pertinent to being a parent volunteer , whether you are acting as an Assistant Scoutmaster or simply an involved parent.
Taught by experienced adult leaders, IOLS is hands-on and teaches you skills like: how to build a fire; how to pack a backpack; how to use a map and compass; what food to bring on the trail!
IOLS teaches exactly what youth in your Troop will learn and enable you to confidently teach them.
IOLS covers the skills expected of a new Youth Scout or Venturer, and is required to be considered “fully-trained”. It closely follows the Scouts BSA handbook and Venturing outdoor expectations. You will gain confidence in your ability through hands-on, practical applications of methods proven to influence the growth of youth within Scouts.
