SUMMARY:BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation) Training Fall 2025

Sign up for BALOO training with a friend and let us help you get your pack ready for camping season. \nTrained 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. \nThis 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.
