- **Event Description**: IOLS - or Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills -  is the #1 way to get active and educated for overnight campouts with Scouts BSA Units! Join us for this course as we learn about proper flag etiquette, wood tool use, land navigation, outdoor camping skills, camp fires, plant identification, ropes, cooking, and MORE! This course is required for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters to be position trained. This is an intensive overnight course that requires a stay in a self-pitched tent. 

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: Because BALOO and IOLS take place at the same time, participants can only sign up for one of these courses. You can't take them both on the same weekend. We do hold them twice a year (April & September), so sign up for one now and check back for the next availability.
