Tour Plan - starting 3/1/11
Effective March 1, 2011, local and national tour permits will be
replaced by what will be called the Tour
Plan. The online tour permit system will also be terminated.
Definition of a Tour Plan: Units complete this form when
planning for local, national or international adventures. The plan helps ensure
the unit is properly prepared, that qualified and trained leadership is in place
and that the right equipment is available for the adventure.”
