BSA Tour Permit Policy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOCAL TOUR PERMITS... A LOCAL TOUR PERMIT is required whenever a unit (den, patrol, pack, troop, team, post, ship) will leave its normal meeting place and travel by car when carpooling is used for more than a 10-mile distance, and the destination is less than 500 miles one way. For example: A den is going to visit a fire station 11 miles away from their normal meeting place, and one or two parents are talking all the boys in the cars -- a tour permit is required. If that same den is meeting at the fire station and the boys are being individually transported by their parents, a tour permit is not required. A troop is picking up food bags for National Good Turn Day and is not transporting boys further than 10 miles away, NO TOUR PERMIT IS REQUIRED. Please use your honest opinion. If you feel that there will be a lot of freeway or highway driving involved in your trip, fill out the Tour Permit. When in doubt, fill it out.
For overnight activities, a tour permit is required regardless of the method of transportation (car pooling or individual drivers).

A local tour permit should be filed two weeks in advance. Tour permits may be faxed into either service center for approval. However, please note that many state/national parks ask for the local tour permit, and will not accept a facsimile copy. Plan ahead for such contingencies.

NATIONAL TOUR PERMITS... A NATIONAL TOUR PERMIT is required when a unit's destination is more than 500 miles one way from their home. These permits are issued by the Southern Region Office, upon endorsement by the local council. NATIONAL TOUR PERMITS MUST BE FILED A MINIMUM OF FOUR WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE DEPARTURE DATE. FACSIMILE COPIES MAY NOT BE USED FOR NATIONAL TOUR PERMITS.
