Kodiak is Venturing's advanced youth leadership development course which is offered in an exciting and challenging atmosphere using the high-adventure resources available in your area.  Your crew or council can offer a course on a backpacking trek, paddling down a river, or even at high adventure activity centers or camps.  The Kodiak teaches leadership skills in a fun way that is internalized by the Venturers who take the course.  In other words, it is a challenging high-adventure trek with a simple and fun leadership course included.  Kodiak is not taught indoors or in a classroom; it is done completely outdoors using nature's examples of leadership.
