Webelos Outdoor Leadership Training (WLOT) is an experience designed for leaders and parents of Webelos dens to simulate overnight camping. Basic outdoor skills to be taught to Webelos Scouts are presented. Scouts taught these skills are better prepared to crossover to Scout Troops and stay in the Scouting program longer. All Webelos leaders should take this course and if possible, have your future Webelos leader(s) take it as well. This course is required for the Webelos Den Leader Award. See the Event Flyer for more details.
The Redwood Empire Council, BSA, and the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics invite you to become a Leave No Trace Trainer! This course is for all Scouters and Scouts 14 years old or older. See the Event Flyerfor more details.
Youth safety is the No. 1 concern of the BSA.
To increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting, the Boy Scouts of America is implementing several important changes to further enhance its Youth Protection policies.
Effective June 1, 2010:
-- Youth Protection training is required for all registered volunteers.
-- New leaders are required to take Youth Protection training before they submit an application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.
-- Youth Protection training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer's Youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
