The Tour Permit has added three important requirements, for all trips beginning January 1, 2009:

  • Youth Protection Training will be valid for two years from the date completed. For example, this means for a tour starting March 15, 2009, Adult Leaders must have completed Youth Protection Training after March 15, 2007. For Leaders currently completing Youth Protection Training on-line, the on-line "Trained" cards reflect a two-year expiration date.
  • At least one Adult Leader must have completed "Planning and Preparing for Hazardous Weather" training. This is a new training program, only offered through the BSA On-line Learning Center. The course is well designed, has plenty of good information, and can be completed in approximately 45-60 minutes.
  • Tour permits will now be required for council camping outings including summer camping and weekend camping.
