ADULT TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

Our troop requires specific adult training to attend some monthly outings and every Summer Adventure after the New Scout Backpack. See Troop 78's full guide to adult training.

IOLS/Assistant Scoutmaster Training: Look for "IOLS" or "Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills". Adults can take this training through any District or Council. These weekend courses are available through Adventure West Council usually in May and October (see their calendar and use the filters at top left to include our Wapiti District) and through other councils like Greater Colorado Council (see their calendar and use the "Training" dropdown option) usually in May and October.
