We will offer IOLS training for leaders. This is a required training course for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters. Others may take this course but it is not required. This course will occur at the same time as the Western Division Spring Camporee.
Registration Fee: $20*
*20 participant limit
Scouting’s outdoor program is a critical part of how the Scouts BSA program develops young leaders. While camping or participating in other outdoor events, your Scouts will challenge themselves to learn skills they’ve never tried before or maybe didn’t think they could do. In doing so, your Scouts will work together as a team to overcome adversity when things don’t go as planned; this is truly the magic of Scouting that no ther program does as well.
To safely offer Scouting’s outdoor program, however, you need a certain set of skills and knowledge – and that’s why you’re required to take Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (also known as “IOLS”) Training. You’ll learn how to build a fire, use an axe, cook outdoors, use a map and compass, responsibly care for the outdoors, and much more.
This course, combined with Safeguarding Youth Training and the Scoutmaster-Specific Training course, will make you a “fully trained” Scouts BSA leader.
- There will be NO on-site registration for this training.
- Strict timeframe: Friday 8pm – Sunday 10am (must be present the entire time)
- A campsite will be provided to those not camping with their units for the Spring Camporee.
- Training will include one meal (lunch), all other meals will be provided by a troop.
- IOLS - Must complete Hazardous Weather on My.scouting.org and bring a copy of completion with you.
- Must bring BSA Health Forms A&B when checking in.
