Boy Scouts of America® Rip Van Winkle Council

Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO)

BALOO training is the Cub Scout leader training required for any Cub Scout den or pack outdoor event, including pack camping overnights and Webelos den overnighters.  BALOO training is comprised of two components - an online component and a practical, hands-on component.  Both components must be completed to qualify as a "TRAINED" Cub Scout Outdoor Leader.  The online component must be completed prior to the practical component.  The online training contains introductory and basic information that will be built upon during the practical training. 

This one-and-a-half-day course is designed as an introduction to the Cub Scout outdoor program for leaders interested in adding a camping component to their Pack activities.  BALOO training consists of an online pre-requisite component in addition to an overnight hands-on practical.  BSA's Cub Scout level camping policies will be taught along with the discovery of the necessary tools to help units carry out a successful camping experience.  Completion of this course is MANDATORY for a MINIMUM OF ONE adult on a Pack overnighter.
