Outside Events and Activities
Pack 184 and Dens do a number of events outside of regular meetings. These events may include a tour of a local fire department, to attending a Rockies game in Denver and everything in between. Parents and leaders should refer to the BSA publication The Guide to Safe Scouting to determine if the activity is appropriate for the Cub Scouts involved under BSA policies (available online)
Tour Permits
All events involving travel must be planned in advance and an Official BSA Tour Permit submitted to the Pack Committee and in turn to the Council. Tour permits are simple to fill out, and provide BSA insurance coverage during the event as well as tranportation to and from the event. Tour permit information can be found at: longspeakbsa.org/notes/tourpermit.html
Cub Scout Day Camp and Resident Camp
Attending summer camp is one of the highlights of Scouting and is closely linked to retention of membership. We encourage every Cub Scout to attend either day camp or resident camp each year. It is the job of Den Leaders, Cubmaster and Pack Committee to promote attendance at one or both camps and to build enthusiasm for attending these District and Council organized camping events.
Camping and/or Overnights
Tiger, Wolf, and Bear Dens are not allowed under BSA rules to do camp outings as as Den. They are however allowed to participate in pack family campouts with one or more BALOO trained adult present, or at District and Council organized camping events as noted above. Webelos Dens are allowed to camp only with a COLT trained leader and each Cub Scout be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
