Join us for BALOO/IOLS training starting May 3. This combined class is more aligned with the new Cub Scout program, and Cub Scout leaders taking this class will not need to retake the IOLS class in the future.
NOTE: Camping overnight is now required for BALOO and is also a requirement for IOLS.
REQUIRED: In addition to the outdoor training, all participants are required to complete all components of the Program Safety prior to the BALOO/IOLS weekend. These are online at my.scouting.org.
Hazardous Weather
Safe Swim Defense
Safety Afloat
Climb On Safely
Drive Safely
NOTE: Each of the Program Safety training modules will take 15-20 minutes and the BALOO prerequisite training will take 60-90 minutes. So, please plan ahead.
Participants must bring their certificates of completion with them to the first day of training, on Saturday, to be allowed to attend the BALOO/IOLS course. We cannot accept emailed certificates.
All participants should also purchase a copy of the Scouts BSA Handbook and bring it.
