Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) training is a supplemental training for Cub Scout leaders. However, an adult member of the Pack-parent or leader-will need to take BALOO training to assist the pack in conducting any camping experiences. The overall goal of BALOO is to provide the leaders with the skills and confidence necessary to venture into the great outdoors with their Cub Scouts and provide them with a great first-time experience. If interested in this training please register here. Commissioner Basic Training will be offered October 18, 2015 at the Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation. The commissioner is the liaison between the local council and Scouting units. The commissioner's mission is to keep units operating at maximum efficiency, maintain regular contact with unit leaders, coach leaders on where to find assistance, note weaknesses in programs, and suggest remedies. Please register here.
