Scouting Program Safety Training
From the Guide to Safe Scouting:
Before a BSA group may engage in swimming activities of any kind, a
minimum of one adult leader must complete Safe Swim Defense training, ...
and agree to use the eight defenses in this plan.
More Information
From the Guide to Safe Scouting:
On a climbing activity, your group must have a Qualified Climbing Instructor.
A qualified rock climbing instructor who is at least 21 years of age must supervise all
BSA climbing/rappelling activities. A currently trained BSA climbing director or instructor
is highly recommended. Contact your local council or regional service center to locate
a qualified individual. The climbing instructor has successfully completed a minimum
of 10 hours of instructor training for climbing/rappelling from a nationally or regionally
recognized organization, a climbing school, a college-level climbing/rappelling
course, or is a qualified BSA climbing instructor.
2013 Course Information
This course is open to anyone age 18 and older. Upon successful completion, participants will be able to aid in the safe instruction of all COPE programs. COPE must be supervised by a National Camp School COPE director and a trained COPE instructor.
 BSA Aquatics Supervision: Swimming and Water Rescue Training
Training for BSA Swimming & Water Rescue provides BSA leaders with information and skills to prevent,
recognize, and respond to swimming emergencies during unit swimming activities. It expands the awareness
instruction provided by Safe Swim Defense training. Persons completing the training should be better able to
assess their preparation to supervise unit swimming events. The BSA recommends that at least one person with
this training is present to assist with supervision whenever a unit swims at a location that does not provide
lifeguards.
This training is open to any registered adult leader, Scout, Venturer, or Explorer who is age 16 or
older. A council approved instructor must directly supervise all training. The course takes approximately eight
hours and is valid for three years.
BSA Aquatics Supervision: Paddle Craft Safety Training
Float trips are popular Boy Scout And Venturing activities.
Safety Afloat awareness training provides guidelines
for safe float trips and is required of unit leaders,
but does not provide the skill training mandated by
those guidelines. BSA Paddle Craft Safety expands Safety
Afloat training to include the skills, as well as the knowledge
needed for a unit leader to confidently supervise
canoeing or kayaking excursions on flat water. Persons
completing the training should be better able to assess
their preparation to supervise paddle craft activities.
The training is open to any
registered adult leaders, Scout, Venturer, or Explorer who is age 16 or older.
Paddle Craft Safety Training is required for all units renting the Longs Peak
Council Canoes.
2013 Course Information
