Numerous complaints in previous years have promoted the Galena Area Chamber of Commerce to work towards restricting the sale of hazardous toys in Galena. The sponsor's for this year's Pilgrimage strongly urge all adult leaders to do their part also. Please discourage your Scouts from bringing, buying, or possessing any hazardous or annoying articles such as snappers, slingshots, whips, pea shooters, squirt guns, etc.
Your Attention Please !!!
Let's be mindful of our regulations regarding youth protection and leadership requirements:
1) Every unit must file and bring with the unit a tour permit (it Will be checked)
2) 2-Deep leadership

4) Leadership by example: Adults and senior youth are reminded that we have an obligation to be that positive role model
