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.
