Skippers/Advisors: If your boat is leaving the vicinity of your home base (dock, yacht club, etc.) so as to be out of sight of another Venturing leader, you should file this Cruise Plan before departure and cancel it when you return. If you are overdue, this is our only way of starting search procedures. If you are delayed or have a problem and have a radio, call via the marine operator so that we don't start searching needlessly.

All boats under 26 feet or under 40 horsepower are automatically covered through the BSA general liability program. Boats 26 feet and/or over 40 horsepower owned by the council must be scheduled with the national office as there is no insurance coverage until an additional premium is paid. Vessels owned by chartered organizations or others and used in Scouting activities should carry their own insurance. If the chartered organization does not carry primary liability insurance on the boat, then it should be scheduled the same as a council owned vessel. Watercraft in the category of 50 feet or more are specifically excluded from BSA umbrella liability coverage and must be scheduled on a separate policy and an additional premium is charged.
