What is the purpose of this class? The Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, Varsity Scout, Venturing, and Sea Scout programs all include outdoor stewardship, care for the environment, and Leave No Trace as part of their programs. This course is offered to train adults to serve as Leave No Trace Trainers and youth aged 14+ to serve their units as Outdoor Ethics Guides. Every unit should have at least one individual who has completed the Leave No Trace Trainer course. We recommend that Scouts complete this course before serving in the troop Outdoor Ethics Guide position.
What will I learn? This course is designed to enhance your understanding of Leave No Trace practices and outdoor ethics, and to increase your level of expertise and confidence in teaching Leave No Trace skills. This class is both active and highly interactive. On completion of this course, participants will be qualified to lead activities to award the BSA Outdoor Ethics Awareness Award patch and the NCAC Outdoor Ethics Awareness patch for Cub Scouts. Students will receive Leave No Trace teaching materials, a certificate of course completion, a Leave No Trace Trainer lapel pin and patch, and a BSA training card.
Cost: $60 per person
