SSC Scouting News COVID-19 Guidance to Units June 2020 SSC Scouting News Keeping you up to date with what is happening in the Southern Sierra Council. SSC Website Link Trading Post Open Daily Monday thru Friday - Noon to 5:00 pm Tejon District Committee Meetings First Thursday of each month - 6:30 pm Thursday, June 4 via Zoom Council Office Contacts Meetings are currently being held via Zoom (661) 325-9036 but will resume, when allowed, at the Scout Office. Scout Executive - Randy Saunders [email protected] The District Committee mobilizes resources to ensure the growth and success of units.

[email protected] District Chairman - John Ryan [email protected] District Commissioner - Patricia Martin-Galvin [email protected] COVID-19 Guidance to Units The Southern Sierra Council understands that many units have questions regarding when and how they can begin holding in-person meetings, activities, and outings once again. With the situation and government guidance changing quickly, it is unfortunately not feasible for the council to provide a comprehensive list of activities that units can or cannot do. BSA units are operated by chartered organizations. These organizations are responsible for the leadership and management of the unit. Ultimately, a unit should only conduct in-person meetings or activities after consulting with their chartering organization and determining that the meeting or activity they wish to conduct is both safe and legal. It is imperative that all units understand that, in order for an activity to be conducted under the auspices of the Boy Scouts of America, the activity must comply with all BSA policies, including, but not limited to, following all local, state, and federal laws. Conducting an activity outside of these parameters may potentially place the unit, chartering organization, and responsible adults, outside the policies of the BSA and therefore more exposed to personal liability. The most prudent course of action for all units and chartering organizations to do, is to monitor and follow the public health orders of their counties, as well as the public health orders of the state of California. Additionally, in the event the unit, in consultation with their chartering organization, determines it is lawful to proceed with an activity, ensure you are following all guidelines for conducting the activity safely. This includes guidelines from the county health department and the BSA. If an activity requires travel outside of one's home county, units and chartering organizations should consult the public health orders of the county they are traveling to. It is suggested activities be restricted to our home counties to minimize the risk of bringing the virus back to our area.

SSC Leadership Forum - Tuesday, June 9 - 6:30 pm Hello Scouters and Parents, The past few months have presented unique situations as we navigate a world-wide pandemic. Our daily routines have been altered… perhaps permanently. Work, school and play will look very differently as we move forward with social distancing. Scouting has also been impacted during this time. Meetings have been virtual. Advancement has been virtual. Even camping has been virtual with social distancing. The Southern Sierra Council has also been navigating these waters to provide as much support to Packs, Troops and Posts as possible.​ The Council President Stephen Boyle, Commissioner Cindy Basham, and Executive Randy Saunders will be hosting a Zoom meeting on Tuesday, June 9, 6:30pm, to provide you with an update about Council activities, service and support.

  • Guide to Council Camps National Parks California
    GUIDE TO COUNCIL CAMPS NATIONAL PARKS CALIFORNIA PARKS ORANGE COUNTY PARKS SAN BERNARDINO PARKS 1 A Few Basics. As all American, I will do my best to . Be clean in my outdoor manners, Be careful with fire, Be considerate ill the outdoors, and Be conservation minded. -The Outdoor Code, The Boy Scout Handbook, 1993 Edition, Page 55 The Outdoor Code is perhaps the most well-known and shortest statement of BSA outdoor policy. It can be expanded into six points that cover how your unit can have a 'low-impact' on your weekend car camping and backpacking outings: Pretrip Plans Wear Scout uniforms or other clothes that will blend into the surroundings. When picking camping equipment, such as tents, try to abide by the same rule. Pack food in containers that you'll carry home at the end of a trip. Take along (and use) trash bags. Plan to have 12 or fewer people staying in an individual campsite. Pick areas that are suited to the type of activity that you are planning. Using Trails Stay on the trail. Don't cut across switchbacks. Campsites Choose sites free of fragile plants. Camp out of sight of trails, streams, and lakes. Don't dig trenches around your tents or make any other unneeded holes. Fires Build fires only where appropriate and allowed. Try to get by with just propane stoves. Use existing fire rings instead of making new ones. Bring your own wood supply with you whenever possible. Open gathering may be prohibited. If you gather firewood, make sure you only burn small wood gathered from the ground.
