Advanced Winter Awareness
The objective is to practice what you learned in the BASIC WINTER AWARENESS course by participating in an overnight practical exercise in the field. This will help develop cold weather back-country competency and proficiency among Scout Leaders and older Scouts for leading winter treks, both short and long term. The emphasis is on developing an awareness of cold weather and wilderness skills so that winter wilderness travel can be conducted in a safe and environmentally responsible manner while feeling comfortable in fulfilling the leadership role.
