Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) is Scouting America's national training program to prepare Cub Scout leaders to take their Cub Scout packs overnight camping. Packs must have a BALOO trained leader present on all overnight campouts. The course also provides a good grounding in Scouting’s Outdoor Program and helps leaders leverage the Outdoor Program to make their packs stronger and more resilient.
BALOO is for Cub Scout leaders working with a Cub Scout pack that wants to camp. Any adult registered with the pack can complete the training and serve as a BALOO trained leader for any pack, but Cubmasters and Den Leaders will find the training especially helpful for their work with Scouts. BALOO training never expires and does not need to be renewed.
