Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation

 
BALOO - Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation

This course for Cub Scout leaders is a required training for Packs to hold a Pack overnighter! This is an energetic training that will cover everything you need to know to plan and run a pack overnighter. It’s more than just camping—it includes ideas for outdoor activities, games and ceremonies; information on selecting and using camping equipment; how to run a campfire program; and hands-on Cub Scout cooking demonstrations! In short, everything you need to know to make your pack overnighter a fun, successful event!

When you complete this training you will have an increased level of confidence and a willingness to plan an age-appropriate pack overnighter.  Remember, a BALOO trained person needs to sign the Tour Planning Worksheet that your Pack submits to the Council and attend the camping event that your Pack has planned.
