Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills
Monmouth Council BSA
WWW.Monmouthbsa.org
All Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters MUST be trained in IOLS to be registered as a leader in that
position.
Do you just help with the program and like camping, IOLS is for you.
IOLS is required to be considered trained and wear the “Trained” patch.
If you are a Webelos Leader or Webelos Assistant, IOLS will help you.
This course gives adult leaders the practical knowledge they need to help Scouts to learn outdoor
skills. The skills presented closely follow the Boy Scout Handbook and rank advancement
requirements. The purpose of the course is to ensure that all leaders are familiar with the basic
outdoor skills at the Tenderfoot through First Class levels, and to show them some proven teaching
methods.
The course will be organized as a troop with a maximum of six patrols of eight scouters each to
ensure a hands-on, small-group experience. Staff Instructors will be assigned to each patrol to help
as needed in camp set up, cooking of meals, map reading, compass use, rope work, woods tools,
hiking and packing, nature, first aid, and Leave No Trace.
