Our scouts have told me they want to go paint balling as a troop activity. Ive heard of several other troops in our area doing this, but I thought paint ball was not allowed under BSA guidelines. Anyone know the official policy on this?

Oops, Sorry everyone. I just read OGE's post regarding laser tag and got the message loud and clear about paint ball. I should have checked the guide to safe scouting first anyway.

 

Regardless, I know some troops are doing it anyway, so let's hope no one gets injured.

The boys in our troop wanted to play paintball. My advice, talk to your parents, talk to the boys, and have at it. Just do not do it as a BSA activity. I (the SM) would not organize it.

 

Similar to other GTSS issues. What I do as a parent violates some GTSS policy. What I do as SM does not.

As Agent 86, Maxwell Smart would say:

 

Ah, "the old bunch of friends and their parents getting together to play paintball which is ok just as long as it doesnt count as a troop activity even though all the participants are from a troop trick"

 

Actually, that'll work
