Anytime that your Scouts and yourself load up to travel somewhere for program, don't forget the most important part of any trip - a Tour Permit. Tour Permits help validate that your unit is going on a Scouting event and is proof that your unit was going on a Scouting outing in case something should happen and you need the accident/liabilty insurance to cover the group.

The Tour Permit proves to the Boy Scouts of America's Insurance Company that your unit was in fact on an outing and are intitled to the insurance benefits of accident/liability that your registration entitles.  It can also offer some security to know that the Coronado Area Council is watching out for your well being should your itenery be needed for any reason.  There are two types of Tour Permits; the first is a Local Tour Permit in which is for Scouting trip of less than 500 miles. This Tour Permit should be turned in at least two weeks in advance. The second kind of tour permit is the National Tour Permit. This Tour Permit covers your unit under 500 miles for the same reasons. We want to make sure that your unit is covered in case anything should happen on the trip. It is in your unit's best interest to fill out a tour permit.  Please take a few minutes after planning your event to turn your Tour Permit into the Council by either mail, email, or fax.  See both the Local and National Tour Permits attached to the article.
