Trek Safely is the Boy Scouts of Americas
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.
