Trek Safely

Contact Jim Szpakowski (281) 645-6671

Trek Safely is the Boy Scouts of America‚s recommended procedure for organizing and carrying out outdoor treks that involve Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers. Trek Safely applies to all types of outdoor experiences that involve trekking, including hiking, backpacking, canoeing, horseback riding, caving, rafting, kayaking, sailing, ski touring, mountain climbing, and mountain biking. Trek Safely is designed to help youth and adult leaders plan and carry out a safe trekking experience for the members of their unit.

Similar to Safe Swim Defense, Safety Afloat, and Climb On Safely, it is not designed to teach the skills of trekking. Units that choose to engage in activities requiring specialized outdoor skills should seek qualified instructors to help members learn and acquire these skills prior to the outing.

MUST be renewed every 2 years.

Prerequisites: None
