This course will follow the modules of the Youth Ranger programme; survival skills, navigation, interpretation and conservation, with participants being given an opportunity to develop skills and experience in these areas, as well as considering leadership issues and health and safety. Opportunities to consider sources of support and ways to link these activities into the curriculum will also be considered.

It is a skills-based course, designed to provide practical know-how in the outdoors. Basic skills such as safe use of cutting tools, firecraft and shelter building will be taught; ideas and techniques to develop interpretation and conservation skills will also be introduced. All in the context of providing a safe but stimulating outdoor classroom.
