The expected training for BSA Assistant Scoutmasters is Youth Protection, Scoutmaster Specific Training (either classroom or series of online classes), Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS), and Hazardous Weather. Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills is only one that has to be a hands-on experience to ensure the concepts are learned.
IOLS will be offered concurrently during the January 15-17 Winter Camp at Camp Davy Crockett. It is the last requirement needed for being “Trained” by Browning, Howard, Reed, S. and J. White. This course and Hazardous Weather are needed by Dunnivant, Peters, and Schaefer to complete their initial training.
In the Journey to Excellence metrics for troop performance, Silver level for Trained Leadership targets at least 60% of the assistants have completed the position-specific training. Troop 48 just needed seven more adults to achieve this rating, which would also attain the Gold standard since our Troop Committee is trained and multiple adult leaders have taken the Wood Badge course.
Consider this opportunity in January (or in June at summer camp) to help maintain the high standards for working with Troop 48 scouts.
Winter Camp will be hosting Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) training from 6:00pm Friday, January. 15 through 7:00pm Sunday, Jan 17, 2020 durring Winter Camp
Cost is $40 per participant.
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 into the outdoors.
Specifically, this hands-on program gives adult leaders a practical introduction to the patrol method of a boy-led troop by teaching many of the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors. In addition, the teaching methods, activities, and games model the variety of teaching used in effective and engaging Scouting programs.
Who Should Take IOLS?
This course is part of the required training for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters. In addition, Webelos leaders planning to cross over into Scouts BSA and troop committee members or other interested leaders are encouraged to attend.
