Stuff to Bring to BALOO Training

Mandatory!

  • Certificate of completion of the online portion of BALOO (C32) training

My.Scouting.org – go to the training center, look for BALOO in the “Expanded Learning” section – broken up into 8 modules so it can be spread out

   

  • Current year Youth Protection Training certificate of completion

Bring what you need for a wonderful training experience, and nothing more. Keep it simple! If you don’t have something, try to borrow it. Your pack (and associated troop) can probably help! You’ll learn more about what equipment to buy at the training.
