Register for BALOO Training
Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO)
and Webelos Outdoor Leader Training (WOLT)
For the first time we are taking BALOO and WOLT training and putting them together for a full day of Cub Scout Outdoor Training. This course is great for any Cub Scout Leader, no matter how long or short they have been in the program. Learn the basics on how to plan and run outdoor events and campouts. Topics include event planning, wood tools, fire building and safety, cooking, knots and lashes, first aid, camping equipment selection, campfire planning, and much more. And because it is WOLT training we will also cover some topics specifics to Webelos Dens like outdoor related Activity Badges, and the Webelos-to-Scout transition.
WHEN: Saturday, March 12th, 2011 7:30am-5:30pm
WHERE: Camp Soule
COST: $15 per participant
We will contact you the Monday before with a list of what you need to bring

About BALOO Training
Ask a boy why he wants to be a Cub Scout, and nine times out of 10 he'll answer "to go camping." That's why Cub Scouting has introduced BALOO (Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation) training, so boys, along with their parents or some other adult, can participate in a successful overnight camping experience.
The BALOO training session will give your pack the tools to conduct a safe and successful overnight.
The morning BALOO sessions include the why and how of Cub Scout camping—planning, equipment, meal preparation, and campfire programs. In the afternoon, Cub Scouters rotate among four round-robin sessions—fire safety, stoves, and lanterns; first aid and sanitation; nature hikes and games; and cooking. Scattered throughout the day are plenty of the four S's: songs, stunts, stories, and showmanship.
The key point of BALOO training is "Keep It Simple." Remember, the over-night is an entry-level outdoor experience for the first-time Cub Scout camper.
