Discuss the BSA challenge, climbing, and general ropes courses. ["Challenge Course" refers to the Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience (C.O.P.E.) Project]
Facilitate adult and youth training that results in the ability to do critical thinking in making ethical decisions based on shared values.
Our youth and adults need the experiences that (safely) push them outside their comfort zone and prepare them for the surprises in life. They need the opportunity to objectively determine their personal style of leadership, their strengths, and their weaknesses. They need the opportunity to practice skills that leverage their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses. Venues for these experiences should maximize opportunity for participation, minimize travel distance, minimize use of vacation time, and minimize out of pocket expenses.
Units view climbing and challenge courses as their program of choice for practicing and implementing leadership development, team building and individual confidence building.
