Special Needs&Disabilities Winter 2019 Digest

Just a reminder as units start camping and traveling to events volunteers should review the most current Scouting Safely website https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/gss/gss08/

As you know in 2017 the National BSA discontinued the use of tour & activity plans. Scouters are reminded to conduct the Scouting program consistent with BSA rules, regulations, and policies. Flexible risk assessment tools are summarized in the “Guide to Safe Scouting” https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/gss/toc/  and detailed in the Enterprise Risk Management Guidebook . (https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/healthsafety/pdf/680-026.pdf)

BSA Program includes several planning tools (Checklists, The Sweet 16 of BSA Safety, Flying Plan) which are designed not for “filing” but to prompt discussions / conversations about risks.

The program hasn’t changed. For example, permission from parents is still needed to take youth on a trip, as would be program requirements for annual health and medical records for all participants. The Cub Scouts camping program is still limited to council approved locations, and so on.

Registered volunteers are provided primary general liability insurance coverage for official scouting activities except when using an automobile or watercraft. A volunteer’s (whether registered or not) automobile liability insurance is primary, with the local council automobile policy providing excess automobile coverage. Non-registered volunteers are provided excess general liability and automobile liability insurance coverage for official scouting activities.  (https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/alerts/insurance/) There is not a requirement to fill out a form for coverage.
