Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) – 4/4-5
BALOO training will help ALL Cub Scout parents and leaders to ‘BE PREPARED’ for camping
adventures in the great outdoors with Cubs. This program is specific to meet the needs of introducing
Cub Scout Leaders to the world of overnight camping. The BSA requires that you have at least one
BALOO-trained adult on every Cub Scout den or pack overnight event regardless of whether it is a pack,
district or council event. This updated course provides BOTH the basic training as well as the Webelos
instruction and involves quality sessions to cover required material.
Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) – 4/4-5
The Intro Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) course is an intensive overnight course with instruction and practice
in the outdoor skills that are important in Scouting. IOLS is the outdoor training required for Scoutmasters
and Assistant Scoutmasters to be position trained.
