What is BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation) Training?
Cub Scout packs can conduct a pack campout (overnight) activity, as long as the activity is conducted at a council-approved location and is under the direction of a leader in the pack trained to do so. The training course to prepare these leaders is called Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO for short). The target participant for BALOO training is a new Cub Scout Leader with a desire to plan and carry-out an entry-level outdoor experience for the pack. Successful completion of this training will result in an increased level of confidence and a willingness to plan an age-appropriate pack overnighter. The goal of the pack overnight activity is to provide a successful pack event that is age appropriate. Scheduled by Districts.
