Course topics include Map and Compass training, proper Backcountry gear, food planning, preparing your body for the backcountry, Low Impact Camping, and much more. If you plan to take your groups hiking or backpacking, this course is a must!
In addition to the classroom courses, participants will take a day hike and an overnight trek. You will have several dates in October and November, to pick for these outings. Most Scout “High Adventure” Awards are available only if the Trek Leader has completed this course.
