BALOO - BASIC ADULT LEADER OUTDOOR ORIENTATION

Scouthaven

The  BALOO training consists of an online pre-requisite component in addition to an overnight hands on practical.  This one-and-a-half day course is designed as an introduction to the Cub Scout outdoor program for leaders interested in adding a camping component to their Pack activities.  BSA’s Cub Scout level camping policies will be taught along with the discovery of the necessary tools to help units carry out a successful camping experience.

Completion of this course is mandatory for a MINIMUM OF ONE adult on a Pack-coordinated overnighter. If your Pack does not do Pack-coordinated overnighters, then the requirement does not apply. If you attend District- or Council-coordinated overnight events, the requirement does not apply. The BALOO requirement only applies to Packs who plan and execute their own overnight programs.

BALOO training has an online prerequisite component that should be completed at my.scouting.org before the course. After logging in, select the Learn Center and navigate to the BALOO Prerequisite Training modules in the "Expanded Learning" section of the course catalog.
