Purpose
Powder Horn is designed to help adult leaders safely conduct outdoor activities of a fun and challenging nature. It provides an introduction to the resources needed to successfully lead their youth through a program of outdoor adventure. This course is based upon the Ranger requirements giving participants an exposure to some outdoor/high adventure activities and not a certification event. Even though the course is based upon the Ranger program, it is still useful for any adult involved in delivering a unit-level high adventure program.

- Introduction to the skills necessary to operate their outdoor program and the various certifications necessary and how to obtain those certifications
