BALOO is coming to Pow Wow!!

The Green Mountain Council will be offering BALOO during the 2009 Cub Leaders Pow Wow.

The BALOO training will be an all day course. The majority of this training will be held outdoors.  Please dress appropriately. The class is limited to the first twenty paid registrations received by council.

Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) will help you gain knowledge of the BSA resources available to help carry out a successful pack camping activity and will provide the tools that you need to accomplish the goals for the Cub Scout camping program. It is very important that   the boys’ first-time camping experience be a safe and fun one. To accomplish this goal, this training will focus on the health and safety of the participants, program planning, and a few basic outdoor skills.

According to National BSA Standards, “Pack overnighters must be organized and led by an adult leader who has successfully completed BALOO training, within the past 2 years.” Without a BALOO trained adult, packs can not participate in overnight camping except at council sponsored events. At least one adult from your pack must be BALOO trained to conduct a pack campout and must be in attendance at the campout.
