Scouting America properties rely on chain saws to help clear trails, remove deadfalls, clear timber, and stockpile wood for campfires and heating buildings. To allow for this use, specific guidelines for safety have been adapted for use at all BSA activities.
BSA Chainsaw training is a 12hr course, it will cover 3-4hr of classroom saw safety operations, and field cutting.
Participants will need to attend both class days to get the certification, be at least 21, registered Scout, and have a current A/B physical.
