Leave No Trace Trainer Course

Medicine Mountain Scout Ranch

8:00 AM Saturday – 12:00 PM Sunday, April 13-14, 2013

Overnight camping is part of the course.

(Friday night camping is optional)

This course is for everyone age 14 & older who will be teaching Leave No Trace to others. Every Pack, Troop, Team, and Crew should have a LNT Trainer. This course is required training for a Scout to hold the Leave No Trace Trainer junior leadership position in his/her unit. The course is highly recommended for members of the Districts' outdoor skills training teams.

Participants learn LNT principles, skills, and ethics through a combination of presentation, discussion, and hands-on activities. They will also learn and practice techniques for teaching these concepts.

Those completing the course will be BSA Leave No Trace Trainers, recognized by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics and the BSA. Those who complete the course are prepared to:

ü  Understand, demonstrate, and teach minimum impact techniques to friends, family, Scouting groups, and other community groups.

ü  Teach the BSA Leave No Trace 101 Awareness class, general Leave No Trace Awareness classes, and lead LNT activities at Scouting events.

ü  Lead discussions on outdoor ethics and help others explore their own personal outdoor ethic.

Course Cost: $35.00. (Includes all LNT program materials, Saturday lunch & dinner, and Sunday breakfast.) For two participants from the same family who will share one set of the LNT materials, the second person is only $15.00.
