| Sleeping Giant District - Greetings |
Posted Mar. 21, 2012 |
 Greetings!
Please allow me to introduce myself; My name is Blaine Boxwell, III and I will be serving as the District Executive for the Sleeping Giant District.
Before serving as the DE here, I've spent the last 11 years as a volunteer in the Wepawaug Valley District. Over that period of time, I've served as an Assistant Scoutmaster, Crew Advisor, Roundtable Staff member, District Committee Member...well ok, you get the idea. I've been in the Scouting program since I was 6 years old. From attaining my Arrow of Light in Pack 7 of Milford to receiving my Eagle Scout Award with Troop 196 in Milford, I know the Scouting program very well. I think one of my biggest strengths is that like most of you, I’m a product of the program. Also like you, I have a love and passion for the Scouting program and I’m absolutely thrilled to be serving as the District Executive for the Sleeping Giant District.
Over the new few weeks and months I will be reaching out to the Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops & Venturing Crews. I’ll be attending District Committee Meetings and roundtables, so please come and say hello! I will also try to visit every unit individually. I’m a big fan of Blue & Gold Dinners & Courts of honors, so please, send a friendly invite. I’d love to meet you and visit your unit.
Through Wood Badge, the Council Venturing Committee and other programs, I’ve been able to meet and work with some of the Scouters in the district. I couldn’t possibly be more excited to be working with Sleeping Giant.
Together, we will work on our common goal, which is to grow and promote the Scouting program in the Sleeping Giant District.
If you should ever need to get ahold of me, please call me at the council office at 203.876.6868 ext 254, or email me at blaine.boxwell@scouting.org
I look forward to working with you in the future!
Yours in Scouting,
Blaine, III

| 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 |
