| Cub Scout Leader Fast Start Training (Self-paced) |
| Fast Start training is
the first step for any new volunteer and is to be delivered immediately after a
new leader registers and before he or she meets with any youth member. This
training is required for all positions. Fast Start training for Cub Scout leaders can be taught at the unit level, or you can even take the course online! To use the online version of the Fast Start courses, available through the Boy Scouts of America Web site, click here. |

| Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO) (1 day) |
| Ask a boy why he wants
to be a Cub Scout, and nine times out of 10 he'll answer "to go camping" -
that's why Cub Scouting has BALOO training, so boys, along with their parents
or some other adult, can participate in a successful overnight camping
experience. A pack camp-out, at a location approved by the local council, is a great way for families to have fun and build confidence in outdoor skills. This kind of camping isn't the rugged high adventure outing geared toward older Boy Scouts. It's what you might call "soft camping," where families can simply drive up to a campsite and pitch a tent within a few feet of their vehicle's rear bumper. The emphasis is on family fun activities that don't require lots of advanced outdoor skills. To get started, a pack leader needs to attend BALOO training, which will give your pack's outdoor activity leader the tools to conduct a safe and successful overnight. The morning BALOO sessions include the why and how of Cub Scout camping—planning, equipment, meal preparation, and campfire programs. In the afternoon, Cub Scouters rotate among four round-robin sessions—fire safety, stoves, and lanterns; first aid and sanitation; nature hikes and games; and cooking. Scattered throughout the day are plenty of the four S's: songs, stunts, stories, and showmanship. The key point of BALOO training is "Keep It Simple." Remember, the over-night is an entry-level outdoor experience for the first-time Cub Scout camper. All arrangements—sleeping, cooking, and program—should be geared to Cub Scout-age boys. |

| Outdoor Webelos Leader
(OWL)
(1-2 days) |
| Outdoor Webelos
Leadership Training is designed to provide Webelos Leaders, Cubmasters, and
interested Committee Members with the information and skills needed to conduct
a successful Webelos outdoors program. Incorporating the adage "Scouting is
Outing", the course is conducted out-of-doors, rain or shine. Outdoor skills of
Cooking and Sanitation, Campfires, Knots, Woods Tools, Naturalist, Forester,
First Aid, Firebuilding, Geologist, Outdoorsman, Selecting Campsites, Tents,
Bedding and Weather are taught in the program. The emphasis is on "Hands-on"
Training. It is best if Leaders attend Cub Scout Basic Training before taking Outdoor Webelos Leadership Training. There is very little overlap between the two programs, and it is essential that all Leaders understand the basic policies, methods, and procedures of Cub Scouting. |
As a result of
completing the OWL program, participants will be able to
