9 Outing Certifications 9 Every Scouting activity requires that a registered leader has Youth Protection and Hazardous Weather training Depending on your outing, an adult participant on the outing could be required to have taken specific training; such as, CPR/First Aid Safe Swim Defense and Swimming & Water Rescue Safety Afloat and Paddle Craft Safety BALOO/Webelos overnight (Cub Scouts)
10 Scenarios 10 # 1 Float Trip and Swimming Activity # 2 Bike Trip # 3 Cub Scout Day Trip # 4 Cave Exploration Explore how the guidelines in the Sweet 16 of BSA Safety apply to the scenario. Specifically: Can this activity be conducted safely? Are there situations that should be considered? Are there any special precautions that should be taken?
11 # 1 Float Trip and Swimming Activity 11 A troop of 28 Scouts is planning a river float trip on class I and II water in July. They expect to overnight on the river, swim, and fish. The Scoutmaster, a strong swimmer, has limited canoeing experience. The Scoutmaster, if certified in Safe Swim Defense, can certainly supervise the swimming activity. An experienced canoeist must be recruited to supervise canoeing activity on white water. In any event, at least three adult leaders are needed, and the Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat standards are applicable. In most circumstances, this outing can be safely conducted.
12 # 2 Bike Trip 12 The Calcite Patrol is planning its 50-mile trip to complete the Cycling merit badge. The Scouts counselor has been transferred out of the area and the Scoutmaster, a 40-year veteran volunteer, is helping them complete the requirements. The Scoutmaster was an avid cyclist some years ago, but does not now own a bike. Since retiring from an accounting firm, he has been walking fairly regularly for exercise. The Scoutmaster should recognize that his responsibility is to identify and recruit a new merit badge counselor. Until a qualified counselor assumes responsibility for the program, this activity should be deferred. The concern here is that the Scoutmaster will fail to recognize or acknowledge his own limitations and may put himself and the Scouts at risk.
13 # 3 Cub Scout Day Trip 13 Pack 106 is planning to visit the zoo on Saturday. 22 boys are expected to attend the outing. It is a two-hour drive to the city. The big zoo is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with special 30-minute programs on different topics at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. Zoo personnel recommend a full-day visit and promise a fun and educational experience for the Cub Scouts. They have also confirmed that the zoo is wheelchair accessible and should be no problem for 8-year-old Charlie. Standards for automobile transportation in the Guide to Safe Scouting are applicable and raise a threshold question on the number of adults and vehicles for this activity. This supervisor should be concerned about controlling the group of young children (both en route and at the zoo), addressing special individual needs while meeting group and program requirements, and how to avoid overextending and exhausting the leadership. A conservative approach to the program scope and content would be prudent because of the number and age of the Cub Scouts, the driving distance, special needs, and the nature and benefit (in terms of Scouting purposes and philosophy)of the activity. Consideration of alternate program possibilities would evidence conscientious leadership.
14 # 4 Cave Exploration After a trip to Mammoth Cave, the young troop wants to go exploring in any of the several undeveloped caves in the area. Except for the 14- year-old senior patrol leader, a Star Scout, the Scouts are all working toward their First Class rank. The Scoutmaster knows that one assistant has been down in a few holes, but none of the troop leadership are experienced cavers. Enthusiasm is high, and the Scoutmaster does not want to disappoint the boys. The Scoutmaster should recognize that the policy found in the Guide to Safe Scouting on cave exploring limits cave exploring activities for Scouts under 14 years of age to commercially operated cave excursions. The Scoutmaster should look for opportunities to visit developed caves, but not take the troop to one of the undeveloped caves in the area. Point out to the group that cave exploring can be a hazardous activity even for older youth and leaders. Guidelines on cave exploring can be found in Cave Exploring by Scout Groups, No Guide to Safe Scouting 14
15 Guide to Safe Scouting 15 BSA policies relating to conducting a safe Scouting activity are found in bold type. Designed to provide steps to permit a leader to conduct a safe unit activity. Age Appropriate Guidelines for Scouting Activities Most updated version is available on-line at
16 16 BREAK
17 The Risk Zone 17
18 Don t Enter the Risk Zone 18 Make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before the trip. Take a break every miles, especially in the afternoon. Travel with two adults in each vehicle whenever possible. If this can t be done, assign an older youth to be your copilot and make sure you stay awake.
19 If you: Continual yawning STOP! Difficulty focusing or keeping your eyes open Trouble keeping your head up Wandering or disconnected thoughts Drifting between lanes or on the shoulder Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel to stay on course; missing traffic signals and warning signs. 19
20 Avoid the Danger 20 Stop in a safe area when becoming fatigued Arrange for alternate drivers Plan the activity so that drivers to not engage in physical activities on the same day that they drive home and/or that the physical activity for the drivers is greatly reduced. Have fresh drivers meet the group on the last day. Use Commercial Transportation.
21 Vehicle Safety 21 Comply with all state and local traffic laws, especially posted speed limits, no texting and hands free cell phone use. Driving defensively, including watching traffic, taking no chances, and using extra caution. Remember that aggressive drivers take unnecessary risks. Meeting the driver qualification on the tour plan, and limiting driving time according to BSA specifications. Limiting the number of passengers to the number of seats with safety belts. Ensure that passengers remain in their seats with belts secured, and that no one rides outside the passenger compartment or cab of any vehicle. Driving with headlights turned on, because the extra moments of visual contact provided by the headlights might be enough to prevent some accidents. Reviewing, understanding, and complying with all BSA rules and procedures that pertain to vehicle safety. Filing a Local and/or National Tour Plan. Check the vehicle for good mechanical condition.
22 Available on-line Youth Protection ALL Leaders & Merit Badge Counselors must take the course to be considered trained Must be renewed every 2 years Strongly recommend that any adult/parent volunteer attending outings take the course. 22
23 Health and Medical Requirements 23 Policy on Use of the Annual Health and Medical Record In order to provide better care for its members and to assist them in better understanding their own physical capabilities, the Boy Scouts of America recommends that everyone who participates in a Scouting event have an annual medical evaluation by a certified and licensed health-care provider a physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. Providing your medical information on this form will help ensure you meet the minimum standards for participation in various activities. Note that unit leaders must always protect the privacy of unit participants by protecting their medical information. Parts A and B are to be completed at least annually by participants in all Scouting events. This health history, parental/guardian informed consent and release agreement, and talent release statement are to be completed by the participant and parents/guardians.
24 Health and Medical Requirements (cont d) Part C is the physical exam that is required for participants in any event that exceeds 72 consecutive hours, for all high-adventure base participants, or when the nature of the activity is strenuous and demanding. Service projects or work weekends may fit this description. Part C is to be completed and signed by a certified and licensed heath-care provider physician (MD or DO), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. It is important to note that the height/weight limits must be strictly adhered to when the event will take the unit more than 30 minutes away from an emergency vehicle, accessible roadway, or when the program requires it, such as backpacking trips, high-adventure activities, and conservation projects in remote areas. Part D is required to be reviewed by all participants of a high-adventure program at one of the national high-adventure bases and shared with the examining health-care provider before completing Part C. Philmont Scout Ranch. Participants and guests for Philmont activities that are conducted with limited access to the backcountry, including most Philmont Training Center conferences and family programs, will not require completion of Part C. However, participants should review Part D to understand potential risks inherent at 6,700 feet in elevation in a dry Southwest environment. Please review specific registration information for the activity or event. Northern Tier National High Adventure Program Florida National High Adventure Sea Base. The PADI medical form is also required if scuba diving at this base. Summit Bechtel Reserve 24
