IOLS/BALOO September 30th - October 2nd
Attached is the flier for IOLS/BALOO training September 30th at Camp Holland. Having a BALOO trained leader on-site is required for a Cub Scout family campout, and IOLS is required to be position trained for Assistant Scoutmaster and Scoutmaster. You Scouts deserve a trained leader, and this is the perfect opportunity to get this great training close by in Weatherford (done in collaboration with Santa Fe District). Registration is here:
