Challenge Programs: Challenge Climbing

We are excited to offer several climbing adventures to Scout unit. Visit www.cpcbsa.org/register to register for any of these climbing adventures:

BSA Climbing Instructor Training

Taking your unit climbing requires more than just having the right equipment! It requires qualified instructors to ensure a safe trip.

By training as a BSA Climbing instructor you will be able to take Scouts out to experience the challenges of climbing & rappelling and have an active climbing program in your local unit or be active with district or council sponsored climbing/rappelling activities.

Participants must be 18 to gain instructor certification. (16 year old scouts can attend with an accompany adult.)

More information is available on the event flyer.
