Tour Plan Policy

Effective March 1, 2011

What was previously known as local and national tour permits have been replaced by theTour Plan.

The Tour plan is defined as: “Units complete this form when planning for local, national or international adventure.  The plan helps ensure the unit is properly prepared, that qualified and trained leadership is in place and that the right equipment is available for the adventure.”

The tour plan consists of a tour planning worksheet to be completed by the unit/contingent.  It is retained by the council and a tour plan is returned to the unit after processing.

The standard tour plan will be required to be submitted for the following reasons:

    1.

     Trips outside of council borders not to a council-owned property.

    2.

    Trips to any national high-adventure base, national Scout jamboree, National Order of the Arrow Conference or regionally sponsored event.

    3.

     When conducting the following activities outside of council or district events:

    a.      Aquatics activities (swimming, boating, floating, scuba, etc)
    b.      Climbing and rappelling
    c.      Orientation flights (process flying plan)
    d.      Shooting sports
    e.      Any activities involving motorized vehicles as part of the program (snowmobiles, boating, etc.)
