[philmont] Local Tour Permits

We could bury our Council Camping office (not to mention the entire Council HQ building) in paper if every unit in the Council had to file a local tour permit for every unit activity within the Council boundaries.
That being said, we are required to file a local tour permit for activities outside Council boundaires, less than 500 miles from base, and of course, a National Permit for anything over 500, etc etc.
Couriously, since our Council spans 2 states (Missouri & Illinois) and the most direct route to one of our Council properties involves going out of Council, into another state, and then back into Council territory within that 2nd state, no tour permit is required.
However, in Council, we must file a Council Property reservation form for any activity that takes place on any of our Council properties. This is to provide quality control on our properties. Units must have a reservation to be on site, they must check-in and check-out with the Camp Ranger at that property, and they must have the reservation to make use of any program materials on that property (ropes, cabins, etc.) Now perhaps this is our "local tour permit" as is being discussed here, but since we still use that form for other purpose, I tend to believe that we are saving our Council camping staff time, aggrevation, money and paper.

In regards to our Friends across the river in Okaw Valley, sound like the lawyers wrote your new policy.
