If you are a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster, a Leader in the Venture or Varsity Program, If you are you a WEBELOS Leader or Assistant, go on campouts, plan on attending Wood Badge For The 21st Century, or just like that outdoorsy stuff... Then you need to attend Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills!
Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) - a camping experience that is intended to take new leaders through the outdoor requirements the boys must complete for advancement through First Class. This is "hands on" training - leaders will do the same activities that the boys are expected to do

This hands-on program gives adult leaders the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors. The skills presented closely follow the Boy Scout Handbook. The purpose of the course is to ensure that new leaders are proficient in the basic outdoor skills at the Tenderfoot through First Class levels. The course will be organized like a troop with patrols of scouters (participants) to ensure a hands-on, small-group experience. Staff Instructors will be assigned to help as needed in camp set up, cooking of meals, map reading, compass use, rope work, woods tools, hiking and packing, nature, first aid, and Leave No Trace.
