Scout Leaders and adult volunteers, come learn how to put the Out In Scouting. Norther Lights District is hosting a dual course this April!  See Details below:

A BALOO-trained adult must supervise each Cub Scout Pack overnight event. This training satisfies that requirement.

This course includes the training that all Webelos and AOL Den Leaders need to be able to plan &amp; conduct (and survive!) a Webelos or AOL Den overnight campout.  Any adult registered with Scouting America who has completed YPT can take this course.  You do not need to be a Den Leader or Cubmaster to attend.

BALOO is an overnight training event. Camping will occur in tents, and most of the event will be outdoors.

Cost: $25, which includes program materials and meals.

REQUIRED PREREQUISITE –
