Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) Training is a day of fun and learning which will help pack leaders plan and carry out a quality "entry-level" outdoor experience for the Cub Scouts and their families. Participants will better understand the laws of the BSA and camp programming while acquiring the skills and confidence to host a successful campout by increasing their knowledge of available resources and the use of national and local council standards as guidelines.

BALOO includes INFORMATION on:

• Preparations for camping with Cub Scouts
• Site Selection

• Equipment
• Feeding
• Introduction to Outdoor Skills

*This Training is required for any adult who is in charge of planning and leading a pack campout.
