BALOO Training
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation

Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation is a training event that introduces parents and leaders to the skills needed to plan, conduct and run a safe and fun Cub Scout campout.

BALOO includes information on:

  • Preparations for camping with Cub Scouts
  • Site selection
  • Parent involvement
  • Health and safety
  • Equipment
  • Feeding
  • Introduction to outdoor skills

This training is required for any adult who is in charge of planning a pack campout, and it is recommended that one adult per pack complete BALOO training.  Tour permits now require that a leader have completed BALOO Training before taking Cub Scouts camping. 

BALOO training is scheduled by your district; check with your district training chairperson for details on the next BALOO training opportunity.
