Summary

Introduction

This guide is intended to be a resource for generating new ideas and to provide information for these outings so that your organization can plan and execute them. It contains basic information on a variety of outing types, campgrounds, and planning aids, mainly for northern and Central California.  Although primarily designed for boy scout troops, much of the information is appropriate for other youth organizations.

Proper leadership and training is the responsibility of each unit for certain types of outings such as boating, climbing and water sports in conformance with the guidelines for their organizations. Age appropriateness should be considered for activities. Link to Age Appropriate Guide:
Guide to Safe Scouting

Information was obtained from a variety of sources and may be subject to change. In some cases, you will be sent to an outside website. I have tried to screen these sites to make sure that they are valid and conform to scouting. If you encounter a problem with a directed site, please let me know so I can amend or delete the link.

It's important that we remember the principles of LEAVE NO TRACE. Please review and make it a part of your unit's outings.

This guide was done as part of my Woodbadge ticket. Please send any questions and comments to me via .bobbytoda@yahoo.com
