GREAT SALT LAKE COUNCIL LOCAL TOUR PERMIT GUIDELINES The Great Salt Lake Council requires the use of a local tour permit for all overnight trips and for all activities outside the Tooele County, Summit County, Salt Lake County, and southern Davis County areas. In addition, activities that need trained supervision according to BSA guidelines also require a tour permit. These activities include: 1. Aquatic activities that include swimming or boating 2. Shooting Sports activities such as BB-shooting, rifle shooting, black powder, or archery 3. Climbing activities such as rock climbing or rappelling The council affirms all activities to be conducted in accordance with the safety considerations listed in the appropriate unit leader's handbook and in Health and Safety Guide, No. 34415B and Guide to Safe Scouting, No. 34416D, which states the policies of the Boy Scouts of America. The Great Salt Lake Council will not interpret or vary any national policy of the Boy Scouts of America. In planning events, unit leaders should ensure that only mature drivers, with safe driving records, provide transportation. Their driving records should demonstrate that they adhere to the laws of the state and that they are safe operators of a motor vehicle. At least one registered adult who has completed BSA Youth Protection training must be present at all events and activities that require a tour permit. Local tour permit applications may be acquired at any Council Service Center or online at www.gslc-bsa.org or www.scouting.org. After completion, they must be approved at a Council Service Center at least two weeks before any activity. |
