Powder Horn is an exciting training opportunity focused on outdoor, high adventure topics. It is different from any other scout training course. The Powder Horn course is designed to expose Venture Advisors and other Scouters to the resources available to operate a successful unit level high adventure program. The course is based on the Ranger requirements giving participants hands-on exposure to some outdoor / high adventure activities. All Ranger core requirements will be covered plus a majority of the electives. Topics planned include: First Aid, Communications, Cooking, Emergency Preparedness, Land Navigation, Leave No Trace, Wilderness Survival, Conservation, Backpacking, Cycling, Ecology, Hunting and Fishing, Lifesaver, Mountaineering, Orienteering, Outdoor Living History, Physical Fitness, Plants and Wildlife, Project COPE, Scuba, Shooting Sports, Watercraft. No one has to physically do any activity they feel uncomfortable with.
The course starts next Friday, April 17 and has a few spaces available. Details are available at http://www.bacpowderhorn.org/.
