Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills

The Burlington County Council invites you to participate in the 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. This course will be held at

Pine Tree Education and Environmental Center

Saturday October 27 8:00 AM
to Sunday, October 28 Noon

Mandatory Pre-weekend meeting Wednesday, October 24 at RSRC, from 7 PM to 10 PM

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 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.
