Beginning January 1, 2016, the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council no longer provides Accident & Sickness Insurance for our units. The insurance was secondary coverage for Scouts or Scouters participating in Scouting activities.  This was a budgetary decision.

There is insurance coverage available at a reasonable cost per scout. NOTE, LDS units have coverage through their Church.  If you have not looked into accident insurance for your unit this year, now is the time. A link to the BSA insurance brochure is at the bottom of this story.

This plan provides coverage to all registered youth (Lion  Program members, Tiger Cub Packs, Cub Packs, Scout Troops, Varsity Teams, Venturing Crews). 

All youth must be insured. Leaders and committee  members, as a group, may be insured at the Unit's option. New members during the year are
automatically covered until the renewal date without additional premium. 

This includes  Leaders and committee members, if insured. Non-scouts, Non-scouters and guests  attending scheduled activities for the purpose of being encouraged to become Scouts or  Leaders are automatically covered. Other guests are not covered.

Recording Service Hours is very important!  Troops, all Eagle project hours must be reported!
