Are you interested in expanding your skills beyond the merit badge, and helping Heart of New England Council offer climbing and COPE programs to units throughout the year? Join our council COPE/Climbing team. Heart of New England Council is offering Level I instructor training to expand our council’s pool of climbing and COPE instructors so we can better utilize our facilities at Treasure Valley and Camp Wanocksett year-round and provide better support to our summer camp programs.
