Thank you for your comments I will add the link to the manual. However it is focused on the BSA program and would have to be adjusted for scouting outside of an LDS sponsored unit where the LDS scouts make up only a small part of the whole unit. Does anyone know if there is a similar handbook for scouting outside of the United States?
I noticed that the sacrament meeting issue does not apply except when outside the ward or stake. In our case here in Australia this would not really be an issue. The stake that encompasses where we are located covers an area the size of Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, and California. Lots of camping potential in an area that big while still staying "within the stake".
