Tour permits are an
essential part of the safe Scout outing planning process.
The
Local Tour
Permit is used for trips of less than 500 miles and lets the local council
know where your trip will be taking place. It describes activity training
standards required for activities such as swimming, boating, or climbing. It
explains the requirements for transportation and leadership training.
The National Tour
Permit is used for trips 500 miles or more (one-way). It is similar to the Local
Tour Permit in that it is sent to your local council and then to the BSA
regional office for approval, so leave adequate lead time—at least a month—in
submitting the application. |
