~A cheerful heart and a mind ready to learn and have a great time, with fellow Scout leaders

BALOO participants – there’s more

BALOO training is now comprised of two components - an online and hands-on component. Both components must be completed to qualify as a “Trained" Cub Scout outdoor leader and to receive the BALOO recognition patch. The online component contains introductory and basic information and must be completed prior to the practical component. Completing the online portion before the BALOO training makes the hands-on training more valuable and meaningful. 
The online portion of BALOO is available in the BSA Learn Center within https://my.scouting.org/

**Please bring proof of the Certificate of Completion for the online BALOO Training**

NOTE: To receive your “Trained” Patch, you must also complete:
