Tour Permits/Permission Slips

  • Don't forget to submit a Local Tour Permit for any den activity that will take place at a location that is NOT your normal meeting place. You do not need them for Council events, such as Braves Night. The directions are on the permit. I have also created a basic permission slip for your use.
  • The BSA has created an new online system where you as leaders will be able to document and organize all Scouting paperwork in one location. Myscouting.org has been created for adult Scout leaders to have full access to all e-learning, online tour permits, rechartering, advancement, event reservations, scoutparents info, Centennial Unit Award, and a number of other functions in one location. Click here for the tutorial on how to use this system to submit online Tour Permits and to obtain approval quickly. You will need your Scout ID number to create a profile. If you do not have it, just email here and he will email it to you.
