Charlie, that's been the policy as long as I've been in scouting.
Whenever boys are transported to an activity away from their normal
meeting location a tour permit is required. Even when the boys are
being transported via their family vehicle to a non-meeting site, a tour
permit should be filed to protect leadership in case of accidental
injuries. Tour permits are always required for going to in-council
camps and other sites where troops (or dens) decide to visit. It's a
hassle -- but it is in the leaders best interest to do so.
