Outdoor Training Requirements toggle arrow

Before a troop can stay overnight at any Lodges at our camps, an adult with the troop must have an Overnight & Activity License.

In order to build a fire, roast marshmallows or cook a simple meal, pitch and sleep in tents OR to camp at a non-council facility, the Basic Camping Skills License is required. Earn it by first holding an Overnight & Activity License and then attending the in-person Basic Camping Skills License.

Learn more about required training for adults and find upcoming courses on our event calendar.
