BALOO is a 2 day training course that teaches leaders skills needed to carry out a successful family Pack-level or Den-level campout. BALOO training is required for at least one adult leader of a Pack to do overnight camping as a part of the Pack’s activities.

At least one adult who has completed this course must be in attendance at any Pack or Den overnight activity. This course has two parts. The first is available online and the second part is the outdoor experience (this class). 

The online component must be completed before attending the outdoor part of Baloo training.
