This next level BOLS Train the Trainer opportunity is for adult
volunteers that are interested in training future BOLS trained adults
in their communities. This training is open to adults that have
already completed their Outdoor Adventure Workshop (OAW) training,
Basic Outdoor Living Skills (BOLS) training, AND have taken groups of
youth camping on multiple occasions.
Attendees can
include previous BOLS or outdoor training instructors or those that
are interested in becoming an instructor. Adult volunteers who
complete this course should be prepared to instruct at least one BOLS
or outdoor training course every 1-2 years as coordinated with GSGWM
which will require volunteer time and no additional cost to
instructors. Both the blended BOLS training (5 hours plus blended
learning and the in-person BOLS overnight (about 9 hours including an

with their Girl Scouts in developed campgrounds and campsites and for
multiple nights and cook full campfire meals.
