Kodiak (Boy Scouts of America) - Kodiak

Kodiak

Kodiak is presented in a six-day (or 2 weekend) trek-oriented course. It may be conducted by a crew a by District or by a local Council. Because it is offered in a trek-format, Kodiak can be incorporated into a long-term high adventure trip by a crew. It is not intended to be offered as a camp-based retreat format.

Kodiak covers five basic leadership concepts:

• Effective Communications
• Team Development
• Inclusiveness
• Values / Ethical Decision Making
• Servant Leadership / Leaving a Legacy

Completion of the course is recognized by the presentation of the Kodiak medal, which is worn on the left pocket. As Kodiak is a youth course, adults should not wear the medal unless they are promoting a Kodiak course they are involved with.

==Kodiak X== (Now discontinued) Kodiak X is (was) a weekend course put on by local councils, which uses leadership challenges to reinforce the skills learned in Kodiak, and introduces two new leadership commissions. It is intended to be offered at a camp, in a retreat/activity format. To participate in a Kodiak X course, the participant needs to have already completed a Kodiak course.

Kodiak X added the following leadership concepts:

• Evaluating Performance
• Mentoring

Completion of the course is (was) recognized by the presentation of the Kodiak X medal, which is worn on the left pocket. As Kodiak X is a youth course, adults should not wear the medal unless they are promoting a Kodiak X course they are involved with.
