Tour Permit For Scouts On Their Own?

[SpEdScouter 6]

It actually sounds like a good idea for say a Scout from Oklahoma who wants to attend a camp by the seashore or in the mountains to try new things they cannot do back in Oklahoma.

Yep, fun. What a concept.

 

@, what paperwork did you all finally push?

@, what paperwork did you all finally push?

 

We provided all the paperwork that the camp required of any registered scout or adult.

 

The camp director decided to add them to a contingent, so there was no need for a tour permit. This is how they handle any council-based scout who goes on their own, so that was what they did for our out-of-council folks. Made sense.

 

Their main reason was making sure that BSA insurance covered them. Council questioned national and they said as long as the scout/parent were part of a contingent -- in our out of council -- they are covered. Not covered was the personal transportation between home and camp.
