3 Program Development Safe Scouting and Youth Protection Manual – Guide to Safe Scouting Can Scouts go skateboarding? What about wakeboarding? Are they allowed to fire a cannon? Throw a tomahawk? Explore an abandoned mine? Sell fireworks? Yes, yes, no, yes, no, and no. How did I know all that? Easy. I read the Guide to Safe Scouting. The comprehensive policies and procedures manual, available online, is a one-stop safety shop for packs, troops, teams, and crews. If you’re new to the Boy Scouts of America, now is the time to familiarize yourself with proper safety practices. Just about any safety-related question you have is answered. The online version is available for free and will continue to be updated quarterly. Find it at www.scouting.org/scoutsource/HealthandSafety/GSS/toc.aspx. There are Scouters who like to download that PDF version to their smartphone or tablet, making the document easily searchable by keyword. But others prefer a hard copy, which is where the new, smaller, spiral-bound version really shines. It’s available soon for the same fair price of the previous version: $6. Find it at your local Scout Shops and at www.scoutstuff.org . New Tools in Guide to Safe Scouting Keeping Scouts safe is a key responsibility of any Scouter, and Safe scouting requires we understand and manage the risks involved in our activities. Scouter Walter Underwood has posted an excellent overview of recent changes to the Guide to Safe Scouting that includes: • A Campout Safety Checklist (PDF), www.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/campout_checklist.pdf • Event Safety Checklist (PDF), www.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/event_checklist.pdf •

Although many users may choose to only collect selected council items, The Council Guide aims to record all council insignia in order to present a more complete picture of a council’s issues. Furthermore, such a broad focus makes The Council Guide more than just another patch identification guide – The Council Guide is also a resource for individuals wishing to record and learn about the history of Scouting through its memorabilia. ORGANIZATION Since The Council Guide includes a wide variety of issues, made in different shapes and sizes and for different purposes, it can be difficult to catalog these issues in a consistent way.
