BALOO
September 11 to September 12, 2021 (Camp White Pines)
Cost: $40
A BALOO trained person must be present on any den or pack outing.
BALOO training is the Cub Scout leader training required for any Cub Scout den or pack outdoor event, in-
cluding pack camping overnighters and Webelos den overnighters. BALOO training has two components—an
online component and a practical, hands-on component. Both components must be completed to qualify as
a “TRAINED” Cub Scout outdoor leader. The online component must be completed prior to the practical
component. The practical component is an overnight camping, training session over two days. This course is
the introductory step in teaching leaders how to fulfill the promise of the outdoor program.
The target participant is a new Cub Scout leader or parent volunteer who has minimal camping experience
but wants to plan and carry out an entry-level outdoor experience for the pack. Ideally, the participant is a
parent who is not already part of a pack leadership team.
The practical component will be held at Fluor High Adventure Base and Leadership Center at Camp White
Pines, 519 Callahan Mountain Road Travelers Rest, SC 29690 from 8 am Saturday, September 11th through
Sunday, September 12th (hopefully finishing by noon).
This is an adult training course. It is not appropriate for a pack or family outing. Staff and participants will
only be onsite.
The practical component is an overnight camping experience. It will be in tents. One man, three-man, or
family size with an air mattress is acceptable. But no hammocks or campers. If you or your Pack don’t have
access to a tent, let the course director know and arrangements will be made.
Prerequisite for the course:
YPT- Youth Protection Training
Online training component- accessed through your My.Scouting.org account.
BSA annual medical form parts A and B – will be returned at end of the course
The cost for the practical component part of the course is $40. This includes lunch, dinner, and cracker-
barrel Saturday and breakfast Sunday. If you would like to camp Friday night, there is an additional $10
charge for dinner Friday and breakfast Saturday.

IOLS Fall 2021
October 23rd -24th, 2021 (Camp White Pines)
April 23nd– 24th, 2022 ( Camp White Pines)
Cost: $40
FOCUS: This hands-on program gives adult leaders a practical introduction to the patrol method of a Scout-
led troop by teaching many of the practical outdoor skills they need to lead Scouts in the out-of-doors. The
skills sessions presented in this course closely follow the Scout BSA handbook and are meant to serve as an
adult training outline. By using these skills sessions in conjunction with the Scout BSA handbook, trainers can
be sure new leaders are proficient in many of the basic outdoor skills through First Class rank, and gain ex-
posure to the patrol method and numerous teaching methods. Each skills session references specific chap-
ters in the Scout BSA handbook and highlights advancement requirements.
Who should take this course?

• IOLS is the required outdoor training for all Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters.

ease your Scout’s journey to Eagle, this course is a must. Course topics include:

Cost: $250
What is Wood Badge?
Wood Badge is an advanced, national leadership course open only to Scouting volunteers and professionals.
The course takes place over two weekends in the fall.
Scouters from Cub Scouting, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts, and Explorers, and district and council
Scouters all are welcome and belong here.
Why do you want to go?
You want to participate in a Wood Badge course because of things you will learn and do. Here are some of
the benefits:
Stronger units. You will make your Scouting unit — and your sons’ and daughters’ units — stronger.
What and why of Scouting. You will have a deeper understanding of what Scouting is and why we do it.
Experience. You will learn and experience things that will stay with you in Scouting and the rest of your life.
Fun. You will have fun and you will meet interesting people.
Other groups. You will make your other groups, like work, church, even family, stronger.
Here’s another summary of why to go. This was originally aimed particularly at Scouters in the Cub Scout
program, but it applies equally to all of us.
How would you like to attend a training that takes you far beyond your basic leader training? Would you like
to build your skills in communication, conflict management and teaching methods? How about a leadership
course that rivals many corporate level trainings?
Wood Badge is here for you. This is not a troop leader training but is designed for Cub Scout, Scouts BSA,
and Venturing leaders. This course will help you better understand how all the Scouting programs tie togeth-
er. It will provide you with many useful leadership tools to help enable our youth to have the best possible
Scouting experience. There is no better time to attend a Wood Badge course and make a difference in your
unit than now!
