Guide to Safe Scouting update.

Guide to Safe Scouting Update

The Guide to Safe Scouting has been updated with a clarification to recruiting as follows:

"Youth who are not registered in the unit may not accompany parents or siblings in camping programs of Scouts BSA*, Venturing, and Sea Scouting.
For example, siblings who are not registered in the specific troop may not attend Scouts BSA troop campouts as part of a “family camp”. Youth who are not registered in the unit may not accompany parents or siblings in camping programs of Scouts BSA*, Venturing, and Sea Scouting. Recruiting exception: When recruiting youth not registered in Scouting, they may attend a unit campout if eligible for registration in the unit. When recruiting all program policies apply including an annual health and medical record, parental consent, age appropriate activities."
