BALOO Training is Coming This Fall!

BALOO is coming to the Circle 10 Council, and the Bluebonnet District invites you to participate in this program. Whether you're an experienced camper or an outdoor novice, BALOO has something to offer you! Don't miss this exciting event!

What is BALOO?

BALOO stands for Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation. It's designed to introduce Cub Scout leaders to the newly expanded opportunities for pack overnight camping.

This is an energetic training that will cover everything you need to know to plan and run a pack overnighter. It's more than just camping-it includes ideas for outdoor activities, games and ceremonies; information on selecting and using camping equipment; how to run a campfire program; and hands-on Cub Scout cooking demonstrations! In short, everything you need to know to make your pack overnighter a fun, successful event!

Why do I need to meet BALOO?

BSA has made a number of changes to the camping policy for Tigers, Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts. Besides participating in council camps (day camp, resident camp), packs may now organize overnight campouts for boys and their families. Adults leading a pack overnighter must attend BALOO training in order to be issued a tour permit. (Cub Scout/Webelos Scout Outdoor Program Guidelines for 2003, 13-631)

Where and when can I meet BALOO?

The next opportunity will be October 4, 2008 at Camp Wisdom. This and other scheduled events and training can be found on our Upcoming Events page.
