WHAT IS BALOO?
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) is the Cub Scout Leader training required for any Cub Scout den or pack outdoor event, including pack camping, overnighter and Webelos den overnighters. It is comprised of two components – an online component* and a practical hands-on component. Both components must be completed to become BALOO-trained.

Where: Camp Verdugo Oaks, 38001 Golden State Hwy, Castaic, CA
Cost: $50 per in-council registrant, $70 per out-of-council registrant

BALOO-Trained Leaders will be able to:
- Explain the focus of the Cub Scout camping program
- Demonstrate the skills necessary to plan and carry out a successful camping activity

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
