CNYScouter 46 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I was looking at the local tour permit and notice it has changed since I looked at it last(a few months ago) from the Tour Permit: Activity Standards: Where swimming or boating is included in the program, Safe Swim Defense and/or Safety Afloat standards are to be followed. If climbing/rappelling is included, then Climb On Safely must be followed. At least one person must be trained in CPR from any recognized agency for Safety Afloat and Climb On Safely. At least one adult on a pack overnighter must have completed Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation (BALOO). At least one adult must have completed Planning and Preparing for Hazardous Weather training for all tours. The listed BSA training is valid for two years. From the highlighted line I'm reading this as BALOO is only good for 2 years (along with the other listed training) I always thought that BALOO didn't expire. Is this something new? or did I miss this on the old tour permit? Link to post Share on other sites
Basementdweller 608 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 That is absolutely ridiculous if it is true. I understand youth protection expiring. Baloo, please. My card does not have an expiration date on it. First I have heard of it. Link to post Share on other sites
AlFansome 10 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The official word is at http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/HealthandSafety/TourPermitFAQ.aspx No expiration date for BALOO. Link to post Share on other sites
