Powder horn
Purpose
Powder Horn is a resource course designed to introduce Scouting’s leaders to the exciting high-adventure program possibilities for their unit. The course supports the mission of strengthening units so they can achieve the mission of the Boy Scouts of America. The ultimate goal is for the participants to leave the course with a list of ideas, contacts, and resources needed to implement a more exciting and robust program.
It is important to understand that Powder Horn is not a personal development course or a team-building experience. Its purpose is to help Scouters learns about specific high-adventure skills, to connect them to resources to deliver those skills in an exciting, challenging way to youth. While the course is based upon providing participants with an exposure to some high-adventure activities experientially, it is not a certification event — units will likely still need knowledgeable, trained, and certified individuals (consultants) to help provide a safe and correct outdoor/high-adventure program.
