BALOO Training

BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation) is the Cub Scout leader training required for any Cub Scout den or pack outdoor event, including pack camping overnighters and Webelos den overnighters. There must be at least one BALOO trained Adult Leader at every campout; more is always preferred.

BALOO training comprises 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 before the practical component. The online training contains introductory and basic information to be built upon during the practical training. The online training can be found at my.scouting.org - “BALOO Prerequisite Training”.
