IOLS (Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills)

this hands-on program gives adult leaders a practical introduction to the patrol method of a scout-led troop by teaching many of the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors. In addition, the teaching methods, activities, and games model the variety of teaching used in effective and engaging Scouting programs.

Next training is October 16-18

Safe Environment Program

The Archdiocese of St. Louis has a new The Catholic church has a new Youth Protection program called Safe Environment Program (SEP). This is REQUIRED for all Catholic Scouters as well as all non-Catholic Scouters who interact with youth and use Catholic owned facilities.

Safe Environment Program replaces Protecting God’s Children if you have taken that in the past, but you still need to register and watch the required videos for training and certification. The online training and instructions are found at: https://www.archstl.org/Portals/0/Documents/Child_Youth_Protection/PreventAndProtectSTL-Registration.pdf?ver=2019-12-03-170557-267 (notice the passcode is stlprotect to get started).

The deadline was March 10th, from some reports but may be extended, so please do this as soon as possible to be in compliance. If you already had Protecting God’s Children, then you just need to register and watch the videos (about 45-60 minutes total time). If you have not had Protecting God’s Children, then you need to register for that in addition to watching the videos. Thank you for taking this extra measure to help ensure our scouts’ safety!!
