BALOO training for Cub Scout Leaders

at Camp Grizzly on March 21-22

Successful completion of the BALOO training plan qualifies the participant to provide leadership for any Cub Scout den or pack outdoor event, including Webelos Den campouts and pack campouts. 

The BALOO training plan has two components:

1. Online training modules available through your My.Scouting account in the training center.  The online training modules contain both introductory and basic information. This will be built upon during the practical training that is completed during an in-person, Council instructed course. The online component must be completed prior to the practical component and proof of completion must be presented at check-in.

2. The In-person, Overnight Experience (That's This course!)  This course is the introductory step in teaching leaders how to fulfill the promise of the outdoor program. Successful completion of this training will result in increased confidence and a willingness to plan a pack overnighter. 

This training will include camping overnight at Camp Grizzly on Saturday night.  Training will start at 9am on Saturday and conclude by about 11am on Sunday.
