The Guide to Safe Scouting, is a
publication by the Boy Scouts of America that establishes guidelines
for staying safe during Scout activities. The Guide to Safe Scouting covers all BSA
programs including Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturing. Anytime
there is a question about the rules and regulations that cover what
can and can not be done as Scouts, the Guide to Safe Scouting is the first place to
look.
Age
Appropriate Guidelines
It is important to review the Guide to Safe Scouting and always
follow the guidelines. In case of accident, having followed the
Guide to Safe Scouting guidelines could make the difference when it comes to deciding
eligibility for the BSA insurance for your unit.
Keep in mind that often well meaning leaders will
express opinions as to what is right and what is wrong. Do your
research, consult resources like the Guide to Safe Scouting, and make sure you have
first hand knowledge of the rules.
You can get a copy of the Guide to Safe Scouting for your unit from
