BALOO Training Question

[ScoutNut]

Not sure why acco is stuck on Webelos, but he is correct when he states that a BALOO trained adult is NOT needed to take your Webelos den camping. BALOO is for adults who are leading PACK camping overnights.

 

You also do not need a BALOO trained adult to go to council camping events such as the various Summer Camps.

 

For Webelos to go den camping, BSA RECOMMENDS that the Webelos den leader have taken Outdoor Leader Skills for Webelos Leaders training, but they have NOT made it mandatory.

 

[FScouter]

The BALOO training syllabus is designed for use by the course director and training staff. It is not really a manual for the Cub leader in charge of a pack overnighter. It is a manual for the staff to use in presenting a quality training event. The first 20 pages for example deal with the logistics of setting up the training event. Reading the syllabus is in no stretch a substitute for participating in the training.

 

The syllabus includes 39 pages of handouts for participants, to be supplemented by additional handouts the training staff feels would be appropriate. If you didnt get the handouts, ask the course director to make you copies of appendices A through Z.
