Scoutmaster Position-Specific training, course Code S24, is the BSA’s initial level of training for adult leaders of Scouts BSA troops. It is designed primarily for Scoutmasters and assistant Scoutmasters. However, committee members and other adults connected to a Scouts BSA troop are welcome to attend.
Committee Member/Chair training, course Code WS10, is the BSA’s initial level of training for Committee Members and Committee Chairs of Scouts BSA troops. While designed primarily for Committee Members and Chairs, other adults connected to a Scouts BSA troop are welcome to attend.
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. BALOO training consists of an online pre-requisite component in addition to an overnight hands on practical. BSA’s Cub Scout level camping policies will be taught along with the discovery of the necessary tools to help units carry our a successful camping experience. Completion of this course is mandatory for a MINIMUM OF ONE adult on a Pack overnighter.
Online Training Pre-requisite
The online portion is available through the BSA Learn Center. Log onto my.scouting.org
and select the BSA Learn Center image on the right side of the home page. On the following page, select Course Catalog from the top menu, and enter “BALOO” into the search box, and press the Find button.
A 16-hour BSA Wilderness First Aid Course will be presented on October 17 & 18, 2020 at Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation. Lunch and snacks will be provided. Breakfast and dinner will not be provided.
For those that wish to camp, a campsite will be available Friday and Saturday evening, or you may commute to camp by 8:30 am each morning.
Time is the major element distinguishing Wilderness First Aid (WFA) from Standard First Aid. When calling 911 is not an immediate option, or when help is hours or even days away, the task of treating the ill or injured can challenge your “standard” first aid skills. Heat, cold, rain, wind, darkness, distance over land or water may separate you from definitive care and evacuation may also need to be improvised from what is available. Communication with the “outside world” may be limited or unavailable. All of these things may very well be part of the WFA world.
The course is for those who plan trips to remote areas far from “normal” EMS Services, providing hands-on skills practice for the remote site.
Wilderness First Aid is required at each BSA high adventure location. Check the specific locations for specific requirements and exceptions.
Must be a registered Scouter or Scout over the age of 14, and currently certified in CPR.
The fee for the course is $125 per person. This fee covers the meals as stated, materials and a WFA course book. Upon completion of the course, each participant will receive a card good for two years.
The course syllabus is provided through the Emergency Care & Safety Institute (ECSI).
More details on Wilderness First Aid can be found at scouting.org.
A Den Chief is a Scout, Venturer or Sea Scout assisting a Cub Scout den. This training is designed to build on each of these ideas using a framework that will allow the new Den Chief, or perhaps the experienced Den Chief looking for new ideas, to have fun and learn the role.
More details on this training (time and location) to come.
