BLST:  This training is tailored to Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters, Troop Committee Members and other adults who expect to play a supportive role in the success of the Troop.  Three specific sessions are combined to make this a one day course.  It is required for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters to be fully trained. 

Session 1:  This session covers the role of the Scoutmaster in a boy led troop (role of the SM, troop organization, troop meetings, working with boy leaders, the patrol method and Patrol Leaders Council)

Session 2:  This session covers the outdoor and advancement programs.

Session 3:  This session covers planning and troop administration (program planning, membership, paperwork, finances, uniforming and other training opportunities).

Overnight camping on Friday night is available for those taking all of the training for the weekend.

The IOLS and WLOT courses are a two day, overnight hands-on training program that give adult leaders the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in their outdoor programs.  It is required for Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters to be fully trained.  It is recommended for Webelos leaders and all other adult leaders working with Scouts and Webelos.
