Our BALOO was kind of rushed, and more focus was placed on camping basics, I guess. I usually plan trips to State Parks, however I've found that the most affordable trips entail the "pioneer sites", which are always over 300 feet from a "sanitary toilet", with outhouses being the toilet facilities. I'm not sure what classifies as "sanitary", as the outhouse, when treated with Bactigard regularly and wiped down with a sanitary wipe tend to be cleaner than some bricks and mortar campground toilets. Thank you for the checklist. I can honestly say that I've never seen it before, and I'm a very rules oriented person. It makes me evaluate every trip I've taken the boys on thus far. I actually have asked our council office about an approved list, but have been told that there is not one; that I need to submit the tour permit, and it will either be approved or denied, which is what I've been doing. Maybe I've been asking the wrong person? Thanks!

I am a BALOO trained outings coordinator in my pack. I have checked with our area council, and have not found any information, and I fill out tour permits which are never denied. I still get questioned regularly by one of the leaders as to whether the campgrounds I pan trips to meet "Cub Scout standards". I've never found any info. regarding this, although I do choose campgrounds with restrooms (outhouses at times) in order to accommodate the moms in the pack, as well as the families who haven't camped often. Are there any standards/ rules governing campground appropriateness?
