BALOO
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) is Scouting America's national training program to prepare Cub Scout leaders to take their packs on overnight camping trips. Packs must have a BALOO-trained leader present on all overnight campouts. The course also provides a solid foundation in Scouting’s outdoor program and helps leaders use the program to make their packs stronger and more resilient.
BALOO is for Cub Scout leaders working with a pack that wants to camp. Any adult registered with the pack can complete the training and serve as a BALOO-trained leader, though Cubmasters and den leaders will find the training especially helpful. BALOO training never expires and does not need to be renewed.
