Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO)

This course will be run alongside our Fall Cub Campout at Johnston's Farm. If you register as a participant for this training, DO NOT register for the Cub Fall Campout as well. 

Camping is an essential part of Scouting, and BALOO is an essential part of Cub Scout camping.  In fact, BALOO-trained leadership is required for a Pack or Den camp out.  BALOO is an overnight experience filled with practical information for Scouters to lead fun, meaningful, and safe camping experiences for the BSA’s youngest campers.
 
BALOO is not death by PowerPoint.  It is experiential and comprehensive.  Topics are taught by experienced Scouters and include:

• GPS & Navigation
• Cooking & Sanitation
• Stove, Lanterns & Fires
• Gear Selection
• Meal Planning
• Knots
• First Aid
• Outdoor Ethics
• Program Planning
• Knife Safety
• Nature & Hiking
• Large Group Games

You MUST stay overnight for this training. Participants are welcome to stay through Sunday.
