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 entry-level 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 new and improved course includes the training that all Webelos Den Leaders need to be able to plan & conduct (and survive!) a Webelos Den overnight campout.  You do NOT have to be a registered leader to attend.

BALOO is an overnight training event, 6:00 pm on Friday, April 29  through 9:00 pm April 30th. 

Fee includes meals & refreshments!
