Cub Scout Camping Policies
Cub scout Camping Policies have been the
source of much confusion for Scouters and Staff. The confusion seems
to come from what we call the boys involved in the Cub Scout Programs as
well as fair amount of self imposed limitations. Please see the memo
from Russell Etzenhouser, Director of Camping Services with BSA for more
details.
BSA Changes Requirements

ATTENTION: IMPORTANT RECALL
INFORMATION
The Boy Scouts of
America has issued a recall notice for the immediate Recognition kit, Item
No. 01804.
Following is an excerpt from the letter to
the Boy Scouts of America from Kahoots, the vendor for the Immediate
Recognition Kit:
"We have been advised that
product safety testing for the Cub Scout Immediate Recognition Kit, Item
#0184, that we supply to the Boy Scouts of America may contain lead levels
in excess of U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standards in the paint
on one component of the kit, the totem badge.
In light of this development we have
decided to initiate a voluntary recall of the product and have instructed
our counsel to move forward with the voluntary recall without delay."
The BSA is requesting
anyone who may have purchased the item to remove the Cub Scout Recognition
totem badge from their children's possession and exchange it at your local
scoutfitter beginning December 1, 2007 and register to win one of three
Mongoose BMX bikes. For additional information call Kahoot at:
1-888-800-4717 or visit www.kahoot.com .
