OWL & BALOO Training
Outdoor Webelos Leader & Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation
SATURDAY APRIL 30, 2016
8:30 A.M. - 5:30 P.M.
What is OWL & BALOO Training?
This training was created to introduce leaders to the outdoor skills that their Cub Scouts will be using.
For Webelos leaders this training course covers the skills and resources needed to teach outdoor skills
included in Adventures and helps ALL LEADERS provide good and safe experiences.
Generally, these are two, one day courses that run an entire day each. Several districts in our council
have taken the information from each course and have dove tailed them so that participants get the
same information in only one day.
Who can attend?
Any leader from any district who wishes to learn about the outdoor components to Cub Scouts!
Registration closes on APRIL 23, 2016, so that we have enough supplies.
Walk in registration will not be accepted.
Where is this training held?
65 East 100 North, Mona, Utah (LDS Chapel, Park and enter on West Side)
How Much?
$10 registration Bring your own sack lunch. Dinner will be provided.
