More Details About the Course. . .
The Scout Handbook comes to life... An Introduction to the Boy Scout Fieldbook... Demonstrations right out of Woods Wisdom... These phrases have all been used to describe the locally developed advanced Boy Scout outdoor skills course called "Woodsman's Thong." The course attempts to inspire adult and boy leaders to try, learn and teach Scout skills beyond basic First Class levels to enhance their troop's program. More than two dozen topics are covered during the course.
Veteran Scouters who demonstrate numerous Scouting skills lead the "Thong". Boys must be leaders in their troops; hence they are required to have earned Star Scout. They also must have a registered adult accompanying them on the course.
Many participants repeat their attendance to hear the topics presented again. It is an information packed course where years of practical experience are shared by the staff. The average Scouting tenure of the staff is quite embarrassing, but several Eagle Scouts easily bring this number to well over thirty years a person. These outdoorsmen are hooked on Scouting and have lived it to its fullest. Come prepared with your questions on any Scout skill.
