New Tour Plan The tour permit process was replaced effective March 1, 2011. Units planning to travel for an outing will now need to file a “Tour Plan” with the local council.
In order to make for a smooth transition for volunteers, and given that national council only recently announced these changes, we will still review plans filed on tour permit applications if submitted in the next few weeks.
Just be aware that new trips being planned that require council review will need to have the new “Tour Plan” form submitted. Attached you will find the new Tour Plan Worksheet and a document prepared by our Risk Management Committee that might be helpful to you as a unit leader. For further information, visit the national “Tour Plan” website. Please dispose of any “Tour Permit” forms you may have and replace them with the attached “Tour Plan” forms. Key differences in the new plan include: -The council is the reviewer of all tour plans; no regional review is required.
-The tour plan consists of a tour planning worksheet that is completed by the unit/contingent. After processing, the council retains the tour planning worksheet and returns the tour plan to the unit.
-The plan can be printed on standard 8 ½-by-11-inch paper!
-21- vs. 14-day advance notice requested for units to submit the plan for your review.
-A single point of contact (not on the tour) for council use included.
-Defined reasons/times when a tour plan must be submitted for council review.
-Updated Pledge of Performance. For more information and to download the new Tour Plan form, please visit:
