Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO)

Who should take BALOO?
The BSA requires that you have at least one BALOO-trained adult on every Cub Scout den or pack overnight outdoor event. That includes pack camping and Webelos den overnighters. A BALOO-trained leader should be at any overnighter regardless of whether it is a pack, district, or council event. Having at least one BALOO-trained adult will make your Cub Scouts' camping experience as awesome as it can be.
Why should I take BALOO?
Leaders who complete BALOO training are better prepared to plan pack den or lead pack overnight events. You'll learn how to make camping activities and outings fun. You'll discover how to keep your Cub Scouts safe and entertained. And you'll learn how to plan an event that's rooted firmly in Cub Scouting's principles. Successful experiences in the outdoors make Cub Scouts - and their parents - more likely to keep coming back.
