      Overnight Camping for Leader with Other Pack

      By TheScouterDude · Posted

      Per the Guide to Safe Scouting: The Cub Scout exception does not apply if she does not have a child camping, which means that she "must be currently registered as an adult volunteer." On the surface, it sounds like she would meet that requirement, as she is a registered member of Scouting America. However, I've been advised multiple times by professional Scouters that this rule requires the adult to be registered with the unit they are staying with. Simply being a registered member in another unit doesn't transfer permission to stay overnight with other units. It's possible that your council has chosen to interpret this differently. The most likely reason why this wouldn't be a violation, though, is because it was a council event according to OP's description. That may change things as it's no longer a unit event.

      Not sure what the issue might be, other than surprise to you.  IF she is properly vetted there should not be a problem, especially if she was not necessary as leadership for your unit at the event.

      Overnight Camping for Leader with Other Pack

      By ZebraLongwing · Posted

      Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I couldn’t find it on the forum. I’m a leader with a pack that recently attended an overnight council event.  Our committee chair notified us at the last minute that she would be camping with another pack that she has friends in, rather than our own. She does not have a child in scouting this year, and camped with them on her own. The rest of our pack is a bit confused. Is this normally allowed?

      SM and CC seem full speed ahead to promote incompetent Scout

      By HashTagScouts · Posted

      When programming is working as it should, this is one element that is correct to evaluate the health of the unit and make SM aware of blind spots. If younger youth are getting pencil-whipped through requirements. and older youth who should be teaching are not, the unit is not healthy.
