Cub Scout leaders are encouraged to review the
Cub Scout
Outdoor Program Guidelines for 2007 (#13-631D) [11 MB file]. This 8-page
brochure provides all of the National Guidelines for Cub Scout Outdoor
Program. It also gives an overview of the types of outdoor experiences
open to Cub Scout age boys. There are many significant changes from
earlier versions, especially for Webelos Camping.
The Flint River Council has developed
special outdoor program
facilities and programs especially tailored for Cub Scout families.

Cub Scout Trips
and Excursions
Trips or
excursions by Cub Scout packs under chartered organization leadership
are a recognized part of the Cub Scout program. Trips should be
conducted in accordance with established procedures. Permits for
such tours shall be issued locally or nationally, depending on the
distance traveled. The National Council has established the following
guidelines:
-
Trips normally will be one-day excursions.
-
Although overnight stays are permitted, they are
not encouraged.
-
When overnight stops are necessary, participants
will stay in private homes, motels, or hotels.
-
Lock-ins or overnight programming at local
museums or other appropriate locations may be approved by the local
council.
-
Den leaders, pack leaders, and parents are
expected to accompany the boys on approved trips.
