Leave No Trace is important as we strive to live by the Outdoor Code, follow the Scout Oath and Law, protect nature, and leave a good impression on others. The BSA-LNT 101 course is designed to give Scouts and Scouters the basic training and skills needed to be leaders in the outdoors and effectively practice the principles of Leave No Trace on all outings. Troop Outdoor Ethics Guides and Advisers are especially encouraged to attend but this course is for any Scouting youth (11+) or adult with an interest in learning how to be a better steward of the outdoors. (utahscouts.org)
Why should each troop or crew have an Outdoor Ethics Guide? The outdoor ethics guide is a troop position of responsibility that counts for the leadership requirement for Star, Life, and Eagle ranks. It was instituted in the 13th edition of the Scouts BSA Handbook. This replaces the role of the Leave No Trace trainer, which was also a Star and Life leadership position. Venturing crews may elect to assign the responsibility of outdoor ethics guide to a member, but it is not a leadership position. (scouting.org)
This training is a great opportunity to help your troop have fun responsibly in the outdoors, while fulfilling a leadership role for youth.
You can register for this training at utahscouts.org/lnt . If you have questions, please call/text Shanae Ames at 712-4755 or email at cachescrappers@gmail.com.
