BALOO Training

Parents, we are in need of more BALOO trained adults in our Pack.  

Why?  Great question! I'm glad you asked.  You see, as a Pack we not allowed to camp-out anywhere other than at a Council or District sponsored event UNLESS we have at LEAST one BALOO trained adult. 

As a Pack, we would like to have a minimum of two BALOO trained adults on every Pack camp out because if there is only one.... and that person has to leave... the campout has to be over.  It's not allowed to continue per BSA rules.  The more BALOO trained adults we have in our Pack, the better off everyone is!

But have no fear.... there is an upcoming training on March 4th provided by no other than our illustrious District Training Committee.  Click here for the flyer from our District.

This training is at the wonderful camp Josepho in Pacific Palisades. The BALOO training starts at 7:30 am sharp on Saturday morning.  If that's too early for you they are also offering a second class, Out Door Leader Skills for  Webelos Leaders starting on Friday night.  Those who what to addend both classes can camp Friday night and be right there ready to go Saturday morning at no additional cost.
