Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills June 1^st and 2^nd 2012 August 24^th and 25^th 2012 The Tanana Valley District invites you to participate in Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills, a fun-filled program of hands-on skills training in the outdoors, designed to help you master basic camp skills required for Tenderfoot to First Class. The cost will be $25 per participant. Don’t put it off! This training is important to having a strong productive unit. Instructors will help you learn how to set up camp, cook, work with woods tools and about ropes, first aid, planning campfire programs, map reading and compass skills, hiking and packing techniques, nature identification, and Leave No Trace. Each outdoor session will bring to life the pages of the Boy Scout Handbook to help you deliver the promise of Scouting to yourself and the youth you serve. It will increase your comfort level and give you confidence as a trained, skilled leader. The program will also give you the opportunity to work with other Scout leaders from your area, meet new friends, and reinforce skill techniques with fellow unit leaders. This course is more than just learning the skills, but also how to better teach those skills to the Scouts we serve. To do this we fall back on the pride of the Boy Scout program, the patrol method, so come and learn how the patrols can help YOU make your outdoor program even better!  This Training is required for ALL Scoutmasters and Assistants.
