    • Is at least one of the adults BALOO trained?

    • What activities will take place during the camping trip? 
    • What type of safety gear is needed? 
    • Have we reviewed the Guide to Safe Scouting to check on requirements for camping, tenting, and activities? 
  4. Fitness and Skill Participants’ Annual Health and Medical Records are reviewed, and leaders have confirmed that prerequisite fitness and skill levels exist for participants to take part safely. 
    • Does everyone have completed a Scouting America Annual Health and Medical Record handed in? 
  5. Equipment and Environment Safe and appropriately sized equipment, courses, camps, campsites, trails, or playing fields are used properly. Leaders periodically check gear use and the environment for changing conditions that could affect safety. 
    • Has everyone done a camping gear shakedown? 
    • What will the weather be like and what adjustments need to be made?
