BALOO is an outdoor skills training program for the Cub Scout Leader or parent – no camping experience is required or assumed.  BALOO training teaches Cub Scout Leaders and parents the essential organizing, planning, camp craft, and outdoor safety skills to enable a Pack to go camping as a group.  BSA policy requires at least one leader with BALOO training on all Cub Scout pack overnighters.  BALOO also includes Webelos den campout planning and campsite duties, and the transition to Boy Scouts.  Cooking, sanitation, campfires, use of woods tools, orienteering skills, outdoor ethics, equipment, and more will be covered.  Don't forget to bring your camping gear, as the training includes a mandatory overnight stay.
