Guide to Safe Scouting requires that all camping activities with units from more than one chartered organization be approved by the council. National policy states:
“Local council approval is needed for all unit-coordinated overnight camping activities involving other units not chartered by the same organization. Units that wish to host events involving other units that do not share the same charter partner must have approval from their council. This includes events for packs, troops, crews, and ships from the same council; neighboring councils; the same territory; or other territory.”
Typical Mulit-unit activities:
The following locations have been inspected and approved by a Pacific Harbors Council Short Term Camp Administer and approved by Pacific Harbors Council for the use of Cub Scouts. Please check with the location for availability and reservations.
