Sometimes you just say “no” to an activity when you “know” the program of the Boy Scouts of America. So, did you “know” there are activities and programs that should NOT be part of any Scouting experience? Or that there are limits for when some activities should be introduced? How you can find out about them and why they are on the “list” are what this safety moment is about.

Be sure to check out the Prohibited Activities when planning your next adventure for your Scouts.  Keeping our Scouts and families safe is our number one priority.  Also, the Guide to Safe Scouting is a great resource for all Scouting leaders. 

We have several events and activities for Scouts, families and units, so be sure to check them out and get outdoors!
