Wilderness Awareness School - Scout Protector
Dive deeper into the ways of the ancient scout! Scout Protector is for teens who are socially mature and seriously interested in pushing their edges and going deeply into the Way of the Scout. Previous experience with Wilderness Awareness School programs is not required. Like the scouts in many ancient cultures, participants in this program will develop keen awareness and observation skills, practice camouflage and stealthy movement, learn to track wildlife and humans, learn to understand bird language (the alarm system of the forest), and identify wild and medicinal plants. They will work together with other scouts to push themselves and improve their skills.
