|
|
|
|
Participants in this 16 hour (plus an overnight) Leave No Trace Trainer Course learn about Leave No Trace, the BSA Outdoor Code, Tread Lightly! and Wildland Ethics including teaching techniques necessary for disseminating these critical Outdoor Ethics skills to others.
|
At the completion of the course, all participants will be recognized by the Leave No Trace center as Leave No Trace Trainers and qualified to train Scouts and the community-at-large to be conservation minded. This course is open to adults and youth who are at least age 14 by the first day of class; all participants must be currently registered with the BSA. Completion of this course is highly recommended for Scouts who wish to hold the Outdoor Ethics Guide position of responsibility and for unit leaders who want to implement Outdoor Ethics more effectively.
|
The course will run from 8:00 a.m. Saturday, May 20 through 1 pm Sunday, May 21, 2023. Check-in is 7:30 am Saturday, May 20 in the Dog Patch at Camp Herms.

Refunds for elective cancellation are 70 to 80% per Council policy and no elective refunds are available after May 5, 2023. Link for registration is available on the Golden Gate Area Council Website https://www.scoutingevent.com/023-LNTTSpring2023.
|
Participants will receive further details by email in late April. All Covid safety requirements of Contra Costa County, The Golden Gate Area Council and the BSA will be observed including possible mandatory masking or home testing. This course will be entirely outdoors, in a quasi backpacking format involving an overnight campout and a day hike. Participants will plan to bring and cook their own meals and each participant will be required to give a fifteen minute presentation using the skills they have learned and materials they prepared before the course.
