Powder Horn
"It was about the most fun I have ever had at any kind of event! And it was training too!" – recent Powder Horn participant |

The Powder Horn course is designed to introduce and expose Venturing and Boy Scouting adult unit leaders to the activities and resources necessary to operate a successful outdoor/high adventure unit-level program.
It is based on the eight core and eighteen electives found in the Venturing Ranger program. It is intended to help adult leaders get out of the box in finding and using resources and in the way they lead their unit-level high adventure programs. No high adventure skills are taught in this course. It is designed to have some disciplines introduced with a hands-on segment.
The course is designed to help unit-level adult leaders to:
- Find the resources necessary for a high adventure program.
- Understand what is involved in different high adventure disciplines.
- Run a high adventure program safely.
To attend a Powder Horn, you must:
- Be a registered BSA adult
- Have a current BSA Class III physical
- Have Scout Executive approval
