The Trainer course is a vital component of the nationwide Leave No Trace program. The participants received training in LNT skills and ethics in a two day format. The Trainer course assisted the participants in learning more about the seven principles of Leave No Trace and techniques for disseminating these low impact skills. The graduates of the Trainer course gained the skills to teach LNT techniques and ethics to their units, camps, schools, parks, wilderness, and front country areas. These trainers are also a valuable resource for learning more about the BSA LNT Awareness Award Program. 

Training topics included the underlying LNT ethic and seven principles of LNT: Plan Ahead and Prepare, Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces, Dispose of Waste Properly, Leave What You Find, Minimize Campfire Impacts, Respect Wildlife, and Be Considerate of Other Visitors. This course provided participants with hands on experience in teaching Leave No Trace Skills and Ethics. Each participant in the class will teach one LNT principle at the Trainer course.
