COPE Instructor

The Colonial Virginia Council needs adults 18 and older who enjoy helping others develop their skill in an outdoor setting. A trained instructor cadre will help foster increased use of the Project COPE program within their units and with the camp facilities. The instructor course occurs over a period of two weekends. The first weekend covers the technical skills necessary to run the program, while the second weekend allows the instructors to practice with participants under the guidance of trained COPE Directors. Youth that are 16 and 17 years old can be trained as "Instructors in Training." Also, Venturers that are 16 years old or older can complete the course as an elective for the Ranger Award.
