| Sleeping Giant District - Scout Sunday |
Posted Feb. 1, 2012 |
At the January Roundtable meeting we discussed the idea of Cub Scouts attending Scout Sunday services with the local Boy Scout Troops who are generally chartered by a church and therefore have a tradition of participating in organized Scout Sunday services. Attached is information I’ve received on 3 Churches in our District having Scout Sunday services: St. Francis Cabrini in North Haven, St. John’s Lutheran Church in Meriden and Holy Trinity Church in Wallingford.
Cub Scouts would be welcome to join the Troops/Scouts at these services! Even if your church doesn’t have an organized “Scout Sunday” program, think about wearing your uniform to services.
If you have information on other Churches please e-mail me and post it to our Facebook Page: Sleeping Giant District CT Yankee.
Thanks.
Barbara

| Sleeping Giant District - New Tour Plan Guidelines and Procedure |
Posted Feb. 26, 2011 |
 Effective March 1, 2011, what are currently known as local and national Tour Permits will be replaced by a "Tour Plan" and the online tour permit system will no longer be available.
The tour plan is a checklist for best practices to be prepared for safe and fun adventure. Completing the tour plan may not address all possible challenges but can help ensure that appropriate planning has been conducted, that qualified and trained leadership is in place, and that the right equipment is available for the adventure.
In addition, the plan helps to organize safe and appropriate transportation to and from an event, and defines driver qualifications and minimum limits of insurance coverage for drivers and vehicles used to transport participants.
Tour plans are necessary for trips outside the Connecticut Yankee Council territory and not going to a Council-owned camp property, for trips to any national high-adventure base, Jamboree, OA Conference or regionally sponsored event; or when conducting the following activities outside of Council or district events:
* Aquatics activities (swimming, boating, floating, scuba, etc.)
* Climbing or rappelling
* Orientation flights (process flying plan)
* Shooting sports
* Any activities involving motorized vehicles as part of the program (snowmobiles,
boating, etc.) Please note that this means that even if you are within council borders, you must file a tour plan if you plan to participate in the above activities.
Tour Plans must be submitted at least two weeks prior to your trip |
