What is IOLS?
• Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills training is a hands-on program that gives adult leaders the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors.
Rev: 7/25/13 4
What is IOLS? (cont’d)
• IOLS addresses the outdoor skills needed for a Boy Scout to achieve the rank of First Class Scout
• IOLS focuses on teaching outdoor skills to youth members
Rev: 7/25/13 5
Why is IOLS Training Required?
• The current national trend is toward adult leaders with shorter tenure and less of a command of outdoor skills than was had by their previous counterparts
• We should not generalize, though
Rev: 7/25/13 6
Why Only SMs and SAs?
• The job description for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters is simple:
Develop youth leaders
• The laboratory for that job is the outdoors
• The SA position is not for everyone
Rev: 7/25/13 7
Options for IOLS Training
• The best approach is to participate in an IOLS course, especially for those who lack the necessary skills
• Those who believe they have the necessary skills and can teach those skills to youth members may be certified via personal coaching
