BALOO – Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation

Camp Manatoc – Dining Hall

Does your Pack get outdoors enough?  Is it maximum fun?  Does everybody go?

Let BALOO show you how!  This course is for any adult involved in Cub Scouts with a desire to plan and carry out an outdoor experience for their Pack.  This is the first step in the BSA outdoor training program.  Each Cub Scout Pack overnight event must be under the direction of a BALOO trained adult.  Additionally, this course includes the training that all Webelos Den Leaders need to be able to plan & conduct (and survive!) a Webelos Den overnight campout.  Any adult that is registered with BSA and has completed YPT is eligible to take this course.  It is not required to be a Den Leader or Cubmaster to attend.

BALOO is an overnight training event, 7:30 AM Saturday, October 12, 2024, through 12:00 Noon Sunday, October 13, 2024.
