The course is broken into three main sections; Boy Teams, Unit Committee's and Team Coaches and Assistants. This Outdoor Training Program is taught through a combination of presentations, demonstrations, and a lot of hands on activities. There will also be workshops for the Adults that are geared towards your specific needs and
questions. In order to begin the course with a basic level of understanding it is highly recommended that you view the Fast Start video available at any Council Service Center before the course begins.Now, think a minute about how important this training is to your Scouting program. How many of us would be willing to walk on board an airliner if we knew the captain had just taken the job, and had no training? Even before we can legally operate a motor vehicle on our streets and highways, we have to be taught HOW to operate it, right? Just as our airline captain first learned to taxi his aircraft before he could fly, so we must learn the basics. Leader and Boy training gets us started in the right direction. Pick out a few subjects that interest you from the "Focus Lists", enroll, and plan to attend this Fall. Remember, the more we know about our jobs, the better we do them, and the easier those jobs become.
