Introduction of Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS)

This course builds and expands on the concepts and themes introduced in Scoutmaster Position-Specific Training and provides Scouters with the confidence to take youth in the outdoors. This Program is a hands-on program that gives adult leaders a practical introduction to the patrol method of a scout-led by teaching many of the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors. Scouters MUST be registered in a Unit leader position to attend.
