proficiency in outdoor skills. The award was designed to supplement the programs of Outdoor
Venturers.
In most cases, not all elements of the selected core requirements and electives can be
completed in one week at Log Cabin.

First Aid	Mountaineering
Project C.O.P.E	Backpacking
Leave No Trace (parts A and C)	Rock climbing
