Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation

Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation is a one-day training event that introduces parents and leaders to the skills needed to plan and conduct pack outdoor activities, particularly pack camping.

This training is required for any adult who is in charge of planning a pack campout, and it is required that one adult per pack complete BALOO training.
 

BALOO is specifically designed for a Cub Scout leader who has minimal camping experience but wants to plan and carry out an entry-level outdoor experience for the pack.
