Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS), 5/20-5/21

INTRODUCTION TO OUTDOOR LEADER SKILLS (IOLS)
IOLS is a hands-on course that gives adult leaders the practical skills to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors. The skills taught will introduce the participants to most of the basic Scout outdoor skills from Tenderfoot through the First Class rank, and we teach you how to teach the Scouts what you learn in this course. Experienced campers and hikers are welcome, as are novices who are new to outdoor adventures.
 
This course is designed for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters, although anyone who is interested in helping them can attend. As a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster, basic training involves completing Youth Protection Training (available online at https://My.Scouting.org), Scoutmaster Position Specific Training (also online at
https://My.Scouting.org) and the Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills. These courses qualify you as a “trained” SM or ASM, and they make you eligible to wear the Trained patch for either position.
 
The next IOLS course will be on Saturday, May 20, 2023, 8 AM to Sunday, May 21, 2023, 3 PM.  It will be held at Camp Verdugo Oaks, north of Castaic.  See the map on the second page of the downloadable flyer.  The cost is $40 for meals, camp fees and handout materials.
