Introduction
Hiking and camping without a trace are signs of an expert outdoorsman, and of a Scout or Scouter who cares for the environment. Leave No Trace is an awareness and an attitude rather than a set of rules. It applies in your backyard or local park as much as in the backcountry. We should all practice Leave No Trace in our thinking and actions—wherever we go.
Training
The Boy Scouts of America is committed to implementing Leave No Trace at all program levels.
Advanced training is available for Master Educators, the top Leave No Trace instructors. Master Educators teach Trainers, the second level of instructors. Trainers and Master Educators conduct awareness workshops, which are designed to promote Leave No Trace.
Through a cooperative agreement with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, the BSA is actively placing Master Educators in every council and Trainers in every district.
Master Educator Courses
The five-day Master Educator course is designed for people who are actively teaching outdoor skills or providing recreation information to the public. This valuable training is recognized throughout the world by the outdoors industry, land management agencies, and the outdoor recreation community. Master Educators can train others in Leave No Trace skills as well as facilitate Leave No Trace Trainer courses and awareness workshops.
