BALOO (BASIC ADULT LEADER OUTDOOR ORIENTATION)

This oneday training introduces parents and leaders to the skills needed to plan and conduct outdoor Pack activities, particularly camping. A day of fun and learning prepares Pack leaders to plan and carry out "entrylevel" outdoor experiences.

Ask a boy why he wants to be a Cub Scout, and nine times out of ten he'll answer "to go camping." Cub Scouting has designed Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) training, so boys, along with their parents or another adult, can participate in a successful overnight camping experience.

Participants who complete this training course will:

• Understand the focus of the Cub Scout level of the BSA outdoor program.
• Gain the skills needed to plan and carry out a successful Cub Scout-level overnight activity.
• Learn more about the resources available from the BSA for carrying out this activity.

This training is required for any adult who is in charge of planning a pack campout.
