The purpose of this training is to further Leave No Trace skills and awareness of outdoor ethics. The Boy Scouts of America has adopted the principles of Leave No Trace, which are easy to learn and apply. As each principle is learned, it should be applied. Every outing and activity should be conducted with Leave No Trace in mind. As young people mature, we will enjoy an increasingly beautiful environment because of the impact of their training in Leave No Trace.

As members of the Boy Scouts of America, we should be good stewards of our environment through knowledgeable use of resources. This training can serve as a major tool in our efforts to teach others the importance of our relationship with the environment. We all must take responsibility for our decisions when we use the outdoors, and we should treat the environment with respect so future generations can enjoy the outdoors as we do today.
The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics (LNT) is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors by all people, worldwide.
The mission of the Center is to promote and inspire responsible outdoor recreation
through education, research and partnerships. The Leave No Trace program is focused
specifically on human-powered (non-motorized) recreation.
