Insurance Coverages Update

The Insurance Coverage Alert has been updated recently with information indicating there is no insurance policy in place which would provide indemnification or defense coverage for those situations involving allegations of intentional and/or criminal acts.

In addition to the above, a new paragraph has been added which advises a volunteer (registered or not), unit, chartered organization, or local council could jeopardize their insurance coverage under the general liability policy if they are engaging in unauthorized activities as outlined in the Guide to Safe Scouting. Unauthorized activities are not considered Official Scouting Activities.
