| Have you ever wanted
to know more about rock climbing? Have
you ever wanted to have the knowledge
and experience to teach this sport to
young people? Do you have a desire to
work in a sport that teaches
responsibility, maturity, attention to
detail, promotes physical fitness and a
love of the outdoors? Then we have a
program for you!
Great Trails is again
offering the opportunity for registered
scouts and scouters 16 years of age or
older, to participate in a training
program covering not only the techniques
and equipment involved in climbing but
the BSA National Standards for safe
operation of a climbing program within
the Boy Scouts. This program covers one
evening of basic requirements and
equipment, one full day outdoors
learning the practical skills of
climbing and a second full day
practicing and reviewing the skills to
actually run your own climbing event (if
trained as an Instructor) or assist in a
council event. This course takes place
beginning on a Friday evening and
continues throughout the entire weekend
with the outdoor portion held on rock
cliffs.
Contact the Great
Trails Council office if you are
interested in this course to sign up.
The fee for this course is $25 and
covers all instruction, handouts and use
of all required climbing equipment.
