BALOO - Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation for Cub Scout leaders is a training event that introduces participants to the skills needed to plan and conduct Pack outdoor activities, particularly pack camping. This training is required for any adult who is in charge of planning a pack campout, and it is required that at least one adult per pack complete BALOO training. 

Prior to taking the practical component, you must have completed the online component.  Both components, the online and the practical, must be completed in order to fulfill the “BALOO Trained” status.  The online portion is available through the BSA Learn Center at My.Scouting.org
