BALOO Training
(Basis Adult Cub Leader Outdoor Training)


Learn the skill of planning fun Cub Scout campouts.  You need to have BALOO training to take your Cub pack camping, but BALOO training is about so much more than just checking a box.  Come have fun with us as you learn:

  • Campout schedule planning
  • Campfire theater
  • Food safety
  • How Cub Scouts cook their first meal for themselves
  • Knots as a tool to learn to teach Cub Scouts
  • How to use big group games
  • Weather safety
  • And so much more!!!

Please note that you MUST take the online BALOO training (35 minutes) prior to the in-person training.  To receive your BALOO trained certificate at the end of the training you will also need to be current with your online "Safeguarding Youth" training and online "Hazardous Weather" training.  You will need to bring your BSA Annual Health & Medical "A" and "B" forms to training (those are the ones that DON'T need a doctor's signature).

Participants must be prepared to spend the night.

When: Nov 7  - 7:30 AM till Nov 8  - 11:00 AM

Where: St. Mary Magdalene Decipleship Center, 1007 Airline Park Blvd, Metairie 70003

Cost: $30 each includes food, cracker barrel, and training material

IMPORTANT: You must be a BSA Registered Adult leader that is at least 21 years old.  Registration is limited to the first 30 participants so be sure to register early!  At least one BALOO trained adult is required to be on every overnight camping trip and must stay for the time the Pack is camping.

Cancellation Policy
The following policy statement is applicable to all council and district activities where a fee is collected by the Southeast Louisiana Council. Online convenience fees (if applicable) are not refundable. All activities are considered non-refundable, unless there is a medical emergency or a death in the immediate family. Refund requests will only be considered if made in writing. A service charge of twenty-five percent (25%) of the activity fee will be assessed on all refunds to cover the costs incurred in preparation of the activity and processing the refund. Written refund requests must be submitted prior to the start of any event. Any requests after the activity will be considered only for personal illness or family emergencies. No refund requests will be accepted after ten (10) days following the end of the activity. Consideration for a full (minus charges and costs incurred) refund will be considered for special hardship cases and for advanced-level training courses such as Wood Badge. For major activities that require a non-refundable deposit, such as council contingents to the National Jamboree and Philmont, a full refund less the non-refundable deposit will be considered based on the time of the request and the council ability to fill the slot with another participant. If the slot is not able to be filled, no refund will be available. No refunds of any fees are available until 30 days after the event. Refund checks will be issued to the individual or entity paying the original fee within 30 days of receipt of the request pending its approval. Fees are only transferable within the same unit to a Scout or adult leader not currently registered for that specific activity. If an activity is canceled or postponed due to weather, every effort will be made to reschedule the activity. If an activity is canceled and the participant cannot participate during the alternate date, the full fee will be refunded minus any service fees and costs incurred by the event prior to the cancellation. This amount may vary from event to event. Send all refund requests to sela@scouting.org
