LNT TRAINER COURSE

LEAVE NO TRACE TRAINER
March 30th - April 1st

   Information Details


The principles of Leave No Trace have been recently integrated into many areas of the scouting program . . . from Cub Scouting to second and first class Boy Scout rank advancements, merit badges and many outdoor programs and activities. In addition, a new Boy Scout leadership position has been developed called "Leave No Trace Trainer". To help facilitate these changes, we will be offering the three day Leave No Trace Trainer course for both youth and adults during selected times of the year.

The classes will be conducted in the field throughout the day on Saturday and during an overnight backpacking trek to the HSR wilderness area. Upon successful completion of the course, each participant will be registered as a certified LNT Trainer with the National Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics in Boulder, Colorado. LNT Trainers are authorized to teach the official LEAVE NO TRACE AWARENESS program, LNT 101 and also qualify to serve as staff instructors in future Leave No Trace Trainer courses.
