"The Boy Scouts of America has adopted the principles of Leave No Trace, which are easy to learn and apply. Every outing and activity should be conducted with Leave No Trace in mind. As young people mature, we will enjoy an increasingly beautiful environment because of the impact of their training in Leave No Trace. As members of the Boy Scouts of America, we should be good stewards of our environment through knowledgeable use of resources. ... We all must take responsibility for our decisions when we use the outdoors, and we should treat the environment with respect so future generations can enjoy the outdoors as we do today." - Teaching Leave No Trace (BSA No. 21-117)
The youth leaders of a busy outdoor adventure program must be able to apply Leave No Trace to a variety of activities in differing environments during all seasons of the year; all done in the company of Scouting youth and adults with varying levels of outdoor skills, self discipline, and commitment to an outdoor ethic.
This course is designed to train older youth (age 14 and older) and adults to serve as Leave No Trace Trainers for Scouting and the wider public. For a Scout to serve as a Leave No Trace Trainer, he must complete the Leave No Trace Trainer Course.
