Hocking Hills (rappelling, hiking); Kelley's
Island (cooking); Lake Loramie (canoeing, fishing); Tar Hollow (backpacking,
state forest prowling)... You get the point.

NEW BSA tour permit for a local trip Leading a local trip
requires a tour permit from the local Scout council. This must be
completed ten days beforehand. The newest trip permit can be filled
out on-line & has a "youth protection" provision on the top of the second
page: if you print this, watch the length of the page. (We've NOT
included the "my account" tour permit link here; it includes too much
confidential info.) |
| BSA
national tour permit for a longer trip Leading a longer trip
(500 miles or more one-way) requires a tour permit processed by the local
Scout council and approved by the national Boy Scout office. This takes
about three months to obtain. (We've NOT included the "my account"
tour permit link here; it includes too much confidential info.) |

When you prepare for
emergencies, use our
BSA 365 emergency cheat sheet
(2 pages). It asks (1) did you prepare a trip plan? take a copy? leave a
copy behind? (2) do you have critical emergency stuff to take with you?
and (3) before you leave, did you review emergency issues with leaders.
The sheet includes a
BSA 365 trip plan you can copy and
carry. |
