IOLS: Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills
(Needed for Scouts BSA Troop & Venturing Crew Leaders to be fully trained)
IOLS - Give adult leaders the practical knowledge they need to help Scouts to learn outdoor skills. The skills presented closely follow the Boy Scout Handbook and rank advancement requirements.To be fully trained, leaders need to complete Scouts BSA Scoutmaster Specific Training or Venture Leader Specific Training and IOLS.
Upon completion, leaders should feel comfortable teaching Scouts the basic skills required to obtain the First Class or Venturing rank. Along with Scoutmaster Specifics Training, this course is needed of all direct contact leaders registered in Scouts BSA Troops and Venturing Crews in order to be considered "trained".
