Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation: 

This training is for Cub Scout Adult Leaders or Parents who will go on Cub Scout Den or Pack outdoor events, including Pack camping overnighters and Webelos & AOL Den overnight camping.

Many Cub Scouts want to do stuff outdoors, including camping. It’s probably why they joined in the first place! In order for your Den or your entire Cub Scout Pack to have an outdoor activity or go camping, you MUST have someone completed BALOO and attend the event in its entirety. 

BALOO Training is made up of two parts: an online course available on my.Scouting.org done prior to attending the in-person, hands-on course. You must complete both parts to qualify as a trained outdoor Cub Scout leader. The hands-on course involves camping overnight (after all, that’s what the course is about – camping). You’re going to learn a lot, from cooking to first aid to campfires to hiking to aquatics and much, much more.

Prerequisites: 

• must be current in Safeguarding Youth training
• must be currently registered in a Pack unit
• must have completed the on-line BALOO Prerequisite Training v2 Learning Plan** 
• must have completed and be current on Hazardous Weather Training** 

Introduction to Outdoor Leadership Skills (IOLS): 

This training is required for Scouts BSA Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters.

Scouting’s outdoor program is a critical part of how the Scouts BSA program develops young leaders. While camping or participating in other outdoor events, your Scouts will challenge themselves to learn skills they’ve never tried before or maybe didn’t think they could do. In doing so, your Scouts will work together as a team to overcome adversity when things don’t go as planned; this is truly the magic of Scouting that no other program does as well.

To safely offer Scouting’s outdoor program, however, you need a certain set of skills and knowledge – and that’s why you’re required to take IOLS Training. You’ll learn how to build a fire, use an axe, cook outdoors, use a map and compass, responsibly care for the outdoors, and much more. Even if you weren’t a Scout as a kid, you’ll come out of this course looking and acting like a seasoned camper. This course, combined with Safeguarding Youth training, Hazardous Weather training, and the Scoutmaster-Specific Training course, will make you a “fully trained” Scouts BSA leader.

Prerequisites: 

• must be current in Safeguarding Youth training
• must be currently registered in a Pack unit
• must have taken Scouts BSA - Scoutmaster Position Specific Training**
• must have taken and be current in Hazardous Weather training**
