IH - Registered Leader?

[CNYScouter]

I couldn't find the answer to this and are curious.

 

Is the Head of your CO considered a Registered BSA Leader?

I know they do not pay a registration fee but do get a BSA membership card.

 

The G2SS states:

"Two registered adult leaders or one registered leader and a parent of a participant, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older, are required on all trips and outings. The chartered organization is responsible for ensuring that sufficient leadership is provided for all activities."

 

Could the IH and a parent (over 21) take Scouts on an activity and fulfill the G2SS 2-deep leadership requirement?

      IF the IH is issued a membership card and is assigned a BSA registration number then that person is, by definition, registered. In my council membership cards are not issued to the IH just the COR, check to be sure in your council. Bottom line is whether the IH has a BSA registration number not just a card.

IF the IH is also the COR then the answer is yes, if not then the answer is no, and if its no then he cannot take boys camping without a registered letter.

[CNYScouter]

I knew that the IH had gotten a card but I didn't look to see if it had a registration number on it.

 

I knew that the IH can also be the COR (and the CC).

 

Can the IH register in another postion in a unit?

 

[LongHaul]

Yes the IH can hold an additional position within the unit. Being the COR and the CC is strongly discouraged as it removes one layer of accoutability from the chain.
