One of the key responsibilities of the Outdoor Ethics Guide is to help educate fellow Scouts on responsible outdoor behavior. This includes promoting the principles of Leave No Trace, a set of outdoor ethics that encourages minimal impact on the environment when camping, hiking or enjoying outdoor activities. The Guide is also responsible for planning and leading activities that promote responsible outdoor ethics within the troop.
Another important role of the Outdoor Ethics Guide is to encourage Scouts to take responsibility for their actions and to minimize their impact on the environment. This includes modeling and promoting behaviors such as carrying out all trash, using designated campsites, and respecting wildlife and natural resources.
As a leader within the Scouts BSA troop, the Outdoor Ethics Guide is expected to lead by example and adhere to the values of the Scout Oath and Law. By living up to these values, the Guide can promote respect, kindness, and responsibility towards nature, as well as demonstrate a strong commitment to service and community. In this way, the Outdoor Ethics Guide helps to instill a sense of pride and respect for the environment in fellow Scouts, while also fostering a sense of leadership and community within the troop.
