The first day is spent in a classroom, introducing the course, reviewing gear, and packing. The remaining four days are spent on a short hiking, sea kayaking, horse packing, rafting or canoeing trip, learning and practicing the principles of Leave No Trace.

Applicants must have completed a two-day Leave No Trace "Train the Trainer" course. Scholarship recipients are expected to integrate Leave No Trace ethics into their council and teach no less than two Leave No Trace trainer courses per year.
