TOUR PERMIT CHANGE FOR 2009
2/1/09
Occoneechee Council BSA National 2009 Tour Permit Changes
Beginning January 1, 2009 the Tour Permit requires that there is at least one leader attending the outing that has been certified in the new Boy Scouts of America Planning and Preparing for Hazardous Weather.
Currently this course is only offered on-line at the eLearning portal. The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and it appears that you have to do it all at once - stopping part way through and returning will cause you to have to start over - so be prepared to set aside enough time when you begin to finish the entire course.
This course can be found on the "General" tab and it is listed as "Weather Hazards"
Note: If for some reason you do not see a certificate when you complete the course, go back to the menu page for training modules where you should see a link that says "view certificate". Click on that link, it will bring up your training card for that course which you can then print out. When I did the training, it was a few minutes before the link for my certificate actually showed up. You will eventually get credit.
