Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills – Campout Style

Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills is a mandatory training for all registered Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters. We will be covering the fundamental skills necessary to successfully and safely take a Scouts BSA troop or patrol on an outing.

The Campout Style of IOLS has participants simulate a classic Scout “car camping” weekend, where participants carry their gear a short distance from a vehicle to a campsite, set up their tents at the site, and mostly remain there other than short expeditions.

This one-and-a-half day course is designed as an introduction to the Cub Scout outdoor program for leaders interested in adding a camping component to their Pack activities.
