Leave No Trace Trainer Course
May 15th – 17th, 2015
Thank You and Welcome on behalf of the entire staff, to what we know will be an exciting
and worthwhile educational opportunity. The Boy Scouts of America, and the Leave No Trace
Center for Outdoor Ethics, are excited to see you become a Leave No Trace Trainer.
When – May 15th 6:00pm - 17th 4:30pm, 2015. The gate should be unlocked by 4pm. If
the early start time is a challenge for you please contact one of the instructors listed on page 5,
to see if arrangements can be made for you to arrive when your life permits. All 16 hours of
course material coverage is required for graduation.
Where – Emporia State University’s, Ross Natural History Reservation. Ross
Reservation has no physical address, the GPS coordinates are N38° 29.5847’ W96° 20.0485’ at the
entrance from the road. There are also several maps in the resources section of this activity on
the BSA Jayhawk Council Calendar online at http://www.jayhawkcouncil.org/Calendar . Ross
is 4 miles west and 1 mile south of the main intersection in Americus, Kansas. If you put “198
Road 230, Americus, Ks, 66835” into google, it will probably point you to the correct place.
This address will not work with most GPSs. It will have you 30 miles northeast in a field.
Who – This course is open to everyone. Part of the material may be somewhat
advanced/complex for those under age 11. Those under 14 do not always meet the graduation
criteria, but all younger past participants have still had a great time, and said they wanted to do
it again, so they are encouraged to come wither they graduate or not, just for the fun with a
purpose, as scouting is supposed to be.
Cost/Registration – $60.00, & Registration Closes May 7th, 2015. This covers all
course materials and food. Registration which is limited to the first 20 participants, closes May
7th 11:59pm, 2015 at http://www.jayhawkcouncil.org/Calendar . Registration is done on a first
come first serve basis, so register sooner than later.
What you need to bring – Yourself, your personal gear/stuff/paperwork. Your
clothing, hygiene, camping and cooking gear (while the food is provided you will be
responsible for preparing it), your presentation ready to go, something to take notes with if you
desire (recommended/not required), filled out and signed health form, parts A & B, and filled
out and signed LNT waiver/assumption of risk. Filled out Leave No Trace Lesson Plan.

Ethics (Leave No Trace & Tread Lightly, the Outdoor Code, and the Land Ethic) can
be a usefully implemented tool in educating Scouts and Scout Leaders to the need for
developing a personal outdoor ethic.
Youth Trainers, age 14 to 18, will qualify for the Eagle rank approved, Position of
Responsibility in the Troop, called “Leave No Trace Trainer”, and for Crews it is age 14
to 21.
*For additional information or questions, please contact one of the instructors listed on page 5.
Outdoor Ethics Overview
Outdoor Ethics is comprised of – the Outdoor Code, the Land Ethic, Leave No Trace, and
Tread Lightly!
Leave No Trace (and Tread Lightly) are non-profit educational organizations, endorsed by the
National Parks Service, United States Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and
Wildlife Service and the BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. One of the primary goals of these
organizations is to train Master and Trainer level educators who can help teach low-impact
outdoor ethics and skills to the general public, Scout Troops, Cub Packs, Venture Crews, or
other community organizations.
The mission of this course is to train Leave No Trace Trainers in both Front Country and
Back Country Ethics Principals, and teaching skills.
The Trainer Course is a vital component of the nationwide Leave No Trace program. It is a
shortened version of the week-long Leave No Trace Master Educator Course. Participants
receive introductory training in Leave No Trace (and are briefly introduced to Tread Lightly)
ethics and skills in a condensed two-day format. The Trainer Course assists the
students/participants in learning more about the seven principles of Leave No Trace and
techniques for using these low impact skills as well as briefly linking the five principals of
Tread Lightly for motorized vehicle/equipment use.
These courses are designed for educators, guides, agency employees, Scout Leaders, Scouts,
and other outdoor professionals, or anyone else (basically everyone).

Successful graduates of the Trainer Course gain the skills to teach Outdoor Ethics
techniques and skills. Participants learn the concepts of Outdoor Ethics and prepare to teach
Outdoor Ethics in a variety of settings: schools, camps, parks, wilderness areas, backcountry,
frontcountry, and any other location. Workshop topics include the underlying ethics, seven
principles of the Leave No Trace program, and the five principles of the Tread Lightly!
program:

We look forward to your participation in this exciting and vital training opportunity. Once your
registration is received, you will be contacted regarding the topic for your presentation (one of
the preceding principals, or an associated topic, or expanded related topic). Presentations do not
need to be typical classroom type presentations, a game, an activity, or a trail walk with a
purpose, and guidance, or a combination of presentation types, are encouraged. In the
meantime, if you have any questions, please contact one of the instructors listed on page 4:

Tips for Teaching
Make It an Adventure – It's easy to help your group learn Outdoor Ethics skills in a fun and interesting atmosphere. The following tips provide insight into the teaching and learning process.
Be Prepared – Advance preparation of meetings helps ensure a quality experience for you and
your audience. Some activities require you to assemble materials, to have participants come prepared, or to select special meeting locations. Keep the following in mind:
Find a relaxing spot and review the entire activity ahead of time. Reviewing will give you time to familiarize yourself with the necessary information, assemble materials, choose a meeting location, or make assignments prior to teaching the activity. Carefully reading this information will keep you one step ahead of your audience members and allow you to support them in understanding each new Outdoor Ethics principle.
Assemble materials ahead of time. The materials needed for each activity are readily available and require minimum time to gather.
Make arrangements for the meeting location in advance. Be sure there are adequate space, lighting, and other important elements to help make the participants comfortable.
Assign tasks before the meeting, and give individuals plenty of time and direction to complete their assignments in advance.
Teaching and Learning Styles—Diversity Is the Spice of Life – Each of us teaches
and learns with our own unique style. Anyone who has worked with people knows that different people are inspired by different teaching and learning techniques. Most young people generally prefer active, hands-on, minds-on learning.
Visual learner. The visual learner likes to learn through seeing—video, chart, picture, and model.
Auditory learner. The auditory learner likes to learn through listening—lecture, discussion, debate.
Kinesthetic learner. The kinesthetic learner likes to learn by using his or her body—dance, drama, movement, and hiking.
Tactile learner. The tactile learner likes to learn through touching and feeling—hands-on activities and projects.
Experiential learner. The experiential learner likes to learn by experiencing the activity first-hand.
A Guide on the Side, Not a Sage on the Stage – People learn better when being guided to
discover and think for themselves. Learning through lectures from the "expert" is seldom interesting and easily forgotten. When teaching Outdoor Ethics, remember to
Encourage involvement. Allow individuals to discover and think for themselves, rather than providing them with all the answers.
Learn together. You will have some foundational knowledge because you have reviewed the necessary information. Allow yourself to learn along with your group as you experience each activity. You do not have to be an Outdoor Ethics expert.

participants, and thoughts of you the participants, as you share, discuss, and debate
the information, that is when you will decide for yourself, if and how you will
change your personal environmental ethic, how you can share your progress with
others, and encourage, and motivate them to raise their personal ethic.

LEAVE NO TRACE CENTER FOR OUTDOOR ETHICS
COURSE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGMENT, ASSUMPTION OF RISKS,
RELEASE AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT
For all Leave No Trace course participants: Please read this document carefully.
Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics (“the Center”) is an educational non‐ profit dedicated to the responsible
enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors by all people worldwide, focusing its education efforts on ways for human
powered recreational visitors to reduce their impacts on the natural area and the experience of other visitors, by developing and
distributing educational curriculum and materials. The Center does not teach, oversee or conduct specific courses, but provides
other organizations and individuals trained as Master Educators or Trainers with the materials to teach the Center’s curriculum.
The Center has no control over course content; course conduct; scheduling; training of Master Educators, Trainers, or the quality
of their training or expertise, other than courses taught by Center staff. The Center does not control their conduct, and does not
warrant or guarantee the quality or expertise of any course or individual instructor.
The Center welcomes your interest in and devotion to the Leave No Trace program. The role of the Center is to
provide educational curriculum to Master Educators and Trainers. Likewise, the Center is available as a resource for you as you
go forth and spread the Leave No Trace word. If you have questions or concerns about Leave No Trace, vis‐ a‐ vis your course,
please feel free to contact the Center at the number below. Thanks again for your interest in promoting Leave No Trace.
800.332.4100; www.LNT.org.
Participants are advised to independently review and examine the qualifications of individuals or
organizations providing Leave No Trace courses.
Course Participants – Release, Acknowledgment & Assumption of Risks In consideration for being allowed to participate in the training courses, the undersigned hereby agrees to release,
indemnify, and discharge Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and its respective members, participants,
volunteers, agents, employees, subcontractors, and all other persons or entities acting in any capacity on its behalf
(collectively referred to as “the Center”) on behalf of the undersigned, his or her spouse, children, parents, siblings, heirs,
assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
1. Leave No Trace courses provide participants with information and techniques so that they can engage in minimum‐impact outdoor ethics and principles. Those who successfully complete a Leave No Trace course can then teach others about
outdoor ethics. Leave No Trace courses focus on outdoor ethics but Leave No Trace courses do not teach traditional outdoor
skills such as mountain climbing, river crossings, camping backpacking, horse packing, rafting, etc. However, some Leave No
Trace courses must be taught in an outdoor or wilderness setting. Activities vary, but can include hiking, camping, rafting and
horseback riding and students should have basic outdoor skills before attending a course.
2. As the Center has no control over the actual course(s) being taught (other than courses taught by Center staff),
the Center cannot know of the specific dangers that may be associated with the course(s). However, these activities
necessarily include inherent and other risks, hazards and dangers which may result in hypothermia, dehydration,
frostbite, drowning, falling, high altitude sickness, colliding with objects or people, heart or lung problems, broken bones,
burns, property damage, illness, physical or emotional trauma, or other injury, disability, damage, death, or loss. The
following are some, but not all, of the most common risks, hazards and dangers that may be associated with any
course(s):
a. Risks present in an outdoor environment. These risks include travel in mountainous or wilderness terrain, both on and off
trails. While traveling in these areas, hazards may not be marked, weather is unpredictable year around, and lightning, rapidly
moving rivers/whitewater, falling rocks, snow and ice, high altitudes, avalanche dangers, fallen timber, stinging insects, wild
animals, and hazardous plant life;
b. Risks involved in horseback riding. Horses (including donkeys or mules) are unpredictable in all circumstances, can react to
the environment, and the conduct of other riders and persons. Equipment may break, saddles may slip, and other riders may
not control their animals;
c. Risks connected with cooking and camping chores. While camping, participants may cook over a gas stove or an open fire
and are subject to the risk of gas explosion or burns. Participants may need to disinfect water before use;
12
d. Risks in staff decision making and conduct. Master Educators and Trainers have difficult jobs to perform. They seek safety,
but they are not infallible. They might be unaware of a participant's fitness or abilities. They may give incomplete warnings
or instructions, they could misjudge the weather, terrain, water level, or route location. Each participant should question the
individual instructor(s) of the course to learn the associated risks and safety precautions employed;
e. Risks associated with travel. Travel may be on foot, or by vehicle, boat or other means, and may be over difficult terrain or
via lakes and rivers, in adverse weather conditions;
f. Risks connected with geographic location. Remote locations may create difficulties in communication and transportation
and delays in evacuation and medical care;
g. Risks regarding equipment. Equipment used in an activity may break, fail or malfunction;
h. Risks regarding conduct. It is possible that you, other participants or third parties (e.g. driver, rescue squad, hospital) may act
negligently or recklessly.
3. By voluntarily agreeing to participate, you assume and accept full responsibility for yourself, for the inherent and other
risks of these activities (both known and unknown), and for any injury, damage, death, or other loss you may suffer,
resulting from such risks and resulting from your own, and other’s, negligence or other misconduct.
4. THEREFORE, YOU VOLUNTARILY RELEASE, FOREVER DISCHARGE, AND AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND
HOLD HARMLESS THE
CENTER, and pay all damages, judgments or amounts, expenses, including all costs of defense and/or costs of enforcing this
agreement, including attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by the Center related to such lawsuits, claims, demands, or causes of
action, which are in any way connected with your participation in this activity or your use of the Center's equipment or facilities,
INCLUDING ANY SUCH CLAIMS WHICH ALLEGE NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE CENTER.
5. You certify that you have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage you may cause or suffer while participating, or
else you agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage yourself. You further certify that you are willing to assume the risk of
any medical or physical condition you may have. You hereby authorize the Center, or anyone acting on its behalf, to seek
medical treatment for you if you are unable to request it for yourself.
6. In the event that you file a lawsuit against the Center, you agree to do so solely in the state of Colorado, and you further agree
that the substantive law of Colorado shall apply in that action without regard to the conflict of law rules of that state. You
agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full
force and effect.
7. You consent to having any photograph of yourself or your family members used, published or sold (without compensation to
you or them) by the Center.
BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF ANYONE IS HURT OR PROPERTY IS
DAMAGED DURING YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY LEAVE NO TRACE COURSE, YOU MAY BE FOUND BY A
COURT OF LAW TO HAVE WAIVED YOUR
RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CENTER ON THE BASIS OF ANY CLAIM FROM WHICH
