Two great trainings at one great location: Smilin V Scout Ranch in Liberty Hill!
Offered Saturday-Sunday, August 27-28, 2022.
Stay tuned for registration and other details.
BALOO is the Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Oreintation course. This is a fun and informative class for all Cub parents, especially those new to scouting, and it is a requirement for all Pack overnighters that at least 1 adult attending has this training.

ILST is the Introduction to Leadership Skills for Troops. This will be the first time offered at the district level, as usually troops do this on their own.
ILST is the basic youth leadership course – open to all troop members, highly recommended for the PLC (Patrol Leaders’ Council), and required as a pre-requiste in order to attend NYLT.
This is not a one and done training. Youth are encouraged to attend this training every time it is offered – especially after having attended NYLT – as they learn more each time, can provide better insights, and learn to work with their new PLC each session. ILST includes some large group instruction and a lot of troop-oriented breakouts and activites.
North Shore is providing this opportunity to help all troops: to ensure critical mass, to demonstrate the curriculum, to demonstrate a youth-led program, and to provide district camaraderie. This is primarily a scout-led training course and youth staff will be chosen from top NYLT scouts from North Shore. Several former NYLT course directors are supporting this opportunity.
Adults: bring your scouts to ILST and watch them succeed as they lead!
