Ratios for Adults to Scouts

[mrjohns2 577]

There isn't an official ratio of adults to scouts on a Scouts BSA campout, right? Just "the appropriate number registered leaders beyond 2 for the activity" or something like that?

I couldn't find the ratio for Cubs when I looked for campouts. Is there one from national? Or is that just local?

Thanks for the help!

The Boy Scouts of America has established the following guidelines for its members’ participation in camping activities:

• Overnight camping by Lion, Tiger, Wolf, or Bear Cub Scouts as dens is prohibited. Webelos dens may participate in overnight camping.
• Lions, with their adult partner, may participate in child-parent excursions, pack overnighters, and council-organized family camping.
• Tigers, with their adult partner, may participate in child-parent excursions, day camps, pack overnighters, council-organized family camping, or resident camping.
• Tiger, Wolf, and Bear Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts may participate in a resident overnight camping program operating under BSA National Camping School–trained leadership and managed by the council.
• Den leaders, pack leaders, and parents are expected to accompany the youth on approved trips.
