CHAPTER OUTING LEADER TRAINING

SAN DIEGO CHAPTER OUTING LEADER TRAINING

The Sierra Club Statement of Purpose begins, "To explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the Earth." In order to more effectively carry out this purpose, we need you as an outing leader.  To become a Level I Chapter Outing Leader (lead on-trail dayhikes and car camps) you must:

1. Have been on at least four Sierra Club outings.
2. Be a Sierra Club member.
3. Be at least 18 years of age.
4. Attend all of both days of Level I Chapter Outing Leader training.
5. Obtain a Red Cross Standard First Aid card or equivalent before proceeding to step 6.
6. Plan, publish, and execute, before October 6, 2010, two outings on which you are evaluated by experienced leaders.
