Silver Star BSA

C.O.P.E. Instructor Course

Preregistration required.

For adults 18 and older who enjoy helping others develop their skills and desire to have a whole lot of fun in the woods! Challenge course programming emphasizes learning by doing. We guide Scouts, Scouters, and people of all sizes, shapes, and physical abilities through initiative problems and low and high ropes course challenges. Courses are designed to develop leadership, goal setting, communication, decision-making, problem solving, teamwork, confidence, trust, and self-esteem. Course takes two weekends, plus another weekend in a C.O.P.E. Course group. Youth 16 and 17 years old can be trained as “Instructors In-Training.” Trained C.O.P.E. Instructors make $75 for each weekend course they help facilitate. The C.O.P.E. course is located on Sid Richardson Scout Ranch.
