BALOO stands for Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation. It’s the introductory training Cub Scout leaders should complete before taking Cub Scouts on an overnight camping trip. The BSA requires that you have at least one BALOO-trained adult on every Cub Scout den or pack overnight outdoor event. That include pack camping and Webelos den overnighters. A BALOO-trained leader is required to be at any overnighter regardless of whether it is a pack, district or council event. Having at least one BALOO-trained adult will make your Cub Scouts’ camping experience as awesome as it can be.
