BALOO Training
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) training has recently been revised and is the Cub Scout leader training required for any Cub Scout den or pack outdoor event, including pack camping, overnighters and Webelos den overnighters.
The BALOO training is open to any Den Leaders or interested Scouter. The Training is fun, helps you to better understand some of reasons why BSA does what it does and helps the pack out at the same time. This training is required for any adult who oversees planning a pack campout, and it is required that at least one adult per pack complete BALOO training.
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation - BALOO is a one-time required training.
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation for Cub Scout leaders is a three-part training event that includes
1). An online portion at https://my.scouting.org/
