Basic Backpacking
The objective is to develop back-country competency and proficiency among Scout Leaders and older Scouts for treks, both short and long term. The emphasis is on developing an awareness of backpacking and wilderness skills so that wilderness travel can be conducted in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. The training is designed for all registered Scouters (Adult Leaders) and Senior Scouts (13 years and older). This is an intensive 1 day indoor, classroom workshop covering a wide range of topics useful for trekking. The objective of this portion is for the student to become aware of the broad range of challenges and responsibilities facing trekking in BSA and to feel comfortable.
