COPE and Climbing Instructor Training
COPE/Climbing Instructors Training: L1 Training
Volunteer instructors are the life blood of scouting. As an instructor, you mentor youth in challenges and adventures. Trainings are held in-person at Atlanta Area Council camps or at a remote location. COPE/Climbing training contributes to skill level development, teamwork, group cohesiveness, and leadership development in Scouts and adults. In these classes you will learn safe and trusted practices for climbing and repelling, types of equipment, maintenance, and record keeping, all within the National Camp Accreditation Program (NCAP) and the Association of Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) standards. Graduates of this training will be able to staff Climbing/COPE events at Atlanta Area Council camps, and at offsite locations under the supervision of a Level 2 Climbing/COPE Instructor or a Climbing/COPE Director.
