Nova Scotia Outdoor Leadership Development Program
The Nova Scotia Outdoor Leadership Program (NSOLD) provides participants with the knowledge and training to become more informed and experienced outdoor leaders. This results in safer, more enjoyable and environmentally sensitive experiences in our back country.
The program is designed for volunteers and professionals 17 years of age and older who want to become outdoor leaders or who wish to upgrade their current outdoor and leadership skills. Examples of groups using NSOLD training include youth-serving agencies, schools, volunteer organizations, government departments, organizations in the private sector, universities and of course, individuals who want to enhance their own personal development. All aspects of the program embrace the principles of experiential learning, environmental stewardship, accessibility by all, sound risk management and volunteerism.
Community based NSOLD programs offer shorter programs available to families and others looking to expand their basic knowledge of outdoor skills. Participants must be 12 years of age or older and accompanied by a guardian to participate.
