Helping YOU Help YOUR Scouts Become Better Adults …
A Scout Leader Enhanced Basic Training Course

Okama 32 is a Scouts BSA Leader and Troop Committee fundamental enhanced basic training course that exceeds all current requirements for Scoutmaster/Assistant Scoutmaster Specific Training (S24) and Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS, S11). Troop Committee Specific Training (WS10) will be offered to participants’ Troop Committees at a later time of their choosing.

Okama is an interactive indoor and outdoor learning experience, taught by an experienced and enthusiastic staff. This enhanced course allows Parents, Scoutmasters, Assistant Scoutmasters, Committee Chairs, Chartered Organization Representatives, Committee Members, Webelos Leaders and Den Leaders to “live” Scouting and learn by doing. It helps Webelos Leaders, Cub Leaders and parents to prepare early for their Scouts’ “Crossing Over” into Scouting. The course provides great fun, new friends and outstanding benefits for all Scouters age 18 and older.

Each Patrol schedules its Patrol Meetings between sessions, to better learn how to operate the Patrol Method, Scout skills and planning for outdoor experiences.

“I hear, and I forget; I see, and I remember; I do, and I understand.” – Chinese Proverb

This Basic Training teaches one method: The Patrol Method… Scouting’s tried and true method!
Attending each session and Patrol Meetings with the same patrol members, among many additional benefits, provides continuity and strengthens the Patrol Method. Your Scouts will benefit from your new experiences, resources, Scout skills, patrol operation and troop organization.
