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