 IOLS & Leader Specific is Now Available for You to Complete in a Single Weekend!
Date: Friday, April 30, 2010 to Sunday, May 2nd.
(All day event)
Location: Camp Tanadoona (map)
Attention Scout Leaders:
Join Lake Minnetonka District’s training staff for a fun-filled, weekend of Scouting.
Our experienced, passionate trainers (who are volunteers just like you!) will provide you with the skills necessary for becoming an effective, trained Scout leader. And, that’s what it’s all about, right?
New this year: Leader-specific training and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills will be offered on the same weekend. Why not attend both sessions and complete your required, leader training in one fell swoop? In order to complete all the training requirements there will be some pre-work required. But, we’re certain that the flexibility this concentrated course allows will make this a great training option.
Friday evening begins with Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (the “outing” in Scouting). These sessions teach everything from cooking to knots and First Aid. This session concludes Saturday evening.
Leader-specific training will be held on Sunday. This session acquaints you with the nuts-and-bolts of Scouting and how individual units fit into the scheme-of-things.
Both sessions will be held at beautiful Camp Tanadoona (near of the U of MN Landscape Arboretum).
Make plans now to attend this fun-filled, weekend of Scouting. We hope to see you there!
