jimster Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 from BW's post on recruiting ... "Remember that a boy does not have to be registered in scouting to go on an activity with the troop or patrol. They need only be interested , eligible to join, and have their parents permission to attend." I agree this is an excellent way to interest new boys in Scouting, but I have always wondered how the liability issues and insurance follow inviting a boy who is not registered on an outing. Does anybody know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Winger Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Insurance, for what that insurance is worth, covers any boy of joining age who is coming along with an eye to joining. It won't cover the 8 year old little brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob White Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 If the unit has BSA accident insurance, (whether provided by the council or purchased through the council) its coverage extends to all participants who are registered members or to those being recruited to join. You can address specific questions regarding BSA health and safety, and risk management questions by going to http://www.scouting.org/Applications/hsquestions.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
