Kansas has an online course, followed by a field day. Was really good from what my son said. Here you have to be 12 to take it. I didn't sit through it with him, as I had to work that day. I was confident in his abilities to pass the written test and have a successful field day. He has always been a good listener and had a strong interest in the outdoors. Sometimes too much, as I love it too, but being a kids its hard to understand dad gets tired sometimes after working all day.
