The Tracker II program is available to all certified Tracker I or higher students. This program provides significantly advanced training to enable the student who is committed to tracking a skill level that will allow them to participate and lead most any tracking operation presented. Emphasis will be focused on analyzing the mission and enhancing skills in communication, common sense and reasoning, leadership, and teamwork. At this level, students will be expected to move sign much more rapidly but with discipline, control, and accuracy.
