Prerequisite: BALOO Online Training at My.Scouting.org 

Are you ready to take your Cub Scout leadership skills to the great outdoors? Join us for the Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation, a comprehensive training program designed to equip Cub Scout Leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to plan and lead exciting outdoor adventures for your pack.

Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation is important training for Cub Scout leaders. This is required training for any campout with your Pack; at least one person on any Pack campout must have this training. 

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 complete the Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation, also known as “BALOO”, training course.

BALOO Training is made up of two parts: an online course available on My.Scouting.org, and an 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.
