BSA Tour Plan

As of May 10, 2012, the new tour and activity plan is available for authorized unit volunteers to access in MyScouting. National believes you'll find the new tour and activity plan process easy to navigate and useful. If you have any questions or experience any issues during the transition period, please contact the National Help Desk at (972) 580-2267.

No longer are signatures or approvals required for the on-line process. Instead, as someone fills out a plan on-line, the required prerequisites for that type of trip or activity will be displayed. For any prerequisites that have not been met (for example, not having someone on a trip who has Hazardous Weather training where this training is required), and before being allowed to submit the form, the person completing the form will have to certify that all prerequisites will be met prior to conducting the trip or activity. Once submitted, an e-mail notification will be sent to your council, chartered organization, committee chair, unit leader, and emergency contact to let them know that a plan has been submitted. Receivers of this notification can log into MyScouting and review the plan.

Some of the tour and activity plan enhancements include the following:

• An e-mail notification will be sent to your council, chartered organization, committee chair, unit leader, and emergency contact to let them know that a plan has been submitted. (It is important to maintain current leadership information in the system to receive notification.)
• There are links to current program-required training and education.
• System prompts and warnings are included.
• You will be able to review and fix any deficiencies flagged by the system prior to submitting the plan.
• You can store, retrieve, copy, and reuse completed tour and activity plans.
• Functionality allows you to upload files such as trekking plans and flight plans.
• Unit volunteers who currently have access to the tour and activity plan will be able to view and update all plans submitted for their unit up to the day before the scheduled plan date.
• There will be leader certification of the plan prior to submission.
