BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation) Training Fall 2025
September 6 @ 7:30 am - September 7 @ 11:00 am
Free – $35.00
BALOO training is adult Cub Scout leader training for leading pack camping trips. All Cub Scout packs must have at least one BALOO trained leader on any pack camping trip. Having two trained leaders gives you backup coverage in case of unexpected illness or schedule changes. Sign up for BALOO training with a friend and let us help you get your pack ready for camping season.
Trained leaders are critical to the success of Scouting. Every young person involved in the Scouting program needs and deserves a leader who understands the aims of the program and knows how to deliver it with enthusiasm and fun. Trained leaders are more effective at delivering the promise of Scouting because they understand their role, responsibilities, and the resources available to them.
This is a hands-on informative training weekend that will give you insight to the skills you need to take your Cub Scouts on outdoor events. Participants will be camping at Fort Courage.
Must be present for the entire event to complete training.
Participants will be responsible for their own personal gear including tent.
Meals will be provided
The online portion of this training at my.scouting.org must be completed before your arrival. This training requires an overnight stay in a tent you set up. Your participation in all in-person lessons is required to receive credit as trained.
