Leave No Trace Train-the-Trainer - June 13-14 à Youth 14+ and Adults
Learn the proper Leave No Trace methods for taking Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing units camping. As more people use parks and recreation facilities, LEAVE NO TRACE guidelines become even more important for outdoor visitors. Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more concerned about their environment and to help them protect it for future generations. Leave No Trace applies in a backyard or local park (front country) as much as it does in the wilderness (back country).
This course will be a fun and engaging way to learn the 7 LNT principles and offer opportunities for you to take these exciting methods back to your unit and start teaching LNT right away.
You will learn about:
· How to implement Leave No Trace in your unit's outdoor program
· How to properly present the Leave No Trace skills to your unit and others
· What's new in Leave No Trace techniques and how they apply to the BSA Program.
· The BSA's Leave No Trace awards and how members of your unit can earn them.
