Outing in a Can

This page contains the information required for an adult leader to plan and run an outing.

TBD - more information should be provided here, including recommended timelines, etc. Meanwhile, adult leaders should seek early guidance from the the Scoutmaster, and get assistance from the Troop Committee.

Here are a number of documents needed for a typical outing:

• A cartoon illustrating why outings are so important (also shown below!)
• A checklist for the boy leader
• A sample flyer
• A sample sign-up sheet
• A blank permission slip
• A sample drivers matrix (arranging transport to and from the event)
• A local tour permit (for trips less than 500 miles)
• A national tour permit (for trips over 500 miles)
• Orange County Council's tour permit policy
• The Guide to Safe Scouting
• A sample Waiver form (this one from Sea Base)
• A form to get a BSA Certificate of Insurance

Because some of these sample forms contain personal information, the entire set is provided as a single password-protected zip file. You know the password!
