Cub Scout Camping Policy Update

Effective August 1, 2024, the Cub Scout camping policies will be updated in the Guide to Safe Scouting. These changes were made to reflect the program updates that occurred on June 1, 2024. These changes include:

Separation of policies for Webelos dens versus Arrow of Light den/patrols.
Updated policies for Webelos den level camping.
Updated policies for Arrow of Light den/patrol camping.

These camping policy changes do not reflect any changes to the Barriers to Abuse or other youth protection policies indicated in the Guide to Safe Scouting. Please review these policy updates and share with Cub Scout leadership in your council. These policy updates will be included in the forthcoming updated BALOO training syllabus. The full details about the policy can be found here: https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/gss/gss03/
