The 1999 Edition of the Guide to Safe Scouting (#34416B) is now available
for viewing on the US Scouting Service Project. This is the edition with a
Dark BLUE cover, and replaces the version with a dark RED cover.
Major changes were in the Climbing/Rappelling section of Chapter IX to match
the new Climb On Safely program, in the Winter Sports safety section of
Chapter XIII. References to the Exploring program were replaced with
references to Venturing throughout the book. In addition, there are minor
changes in a number of locations.
New sections were added to Chapter III with information on "Hantavirus" and
"Rabies Prevention", and a new section was added to Chapter II on "Who Can
Instruct Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat Training".
Chapters IV, V, VII, AND X appear to have no changes.
We've replaced the gif images of the forms in the appendix with pdf images,
which are easier to read, clearer, and can be printed out for use. You do
need Adobe Acrobat Reader (which is a free download) to view the pdf files.
Links to the Adobe download site are on both the G2SS index and appendix
pages, and on the USSSP home page.
The Guide to Safe Scouting can be seen at:
http://www.usscouts.org/safety/g2ss.html
<http://www.usscouts.org/safety/g2ss.html>
In keeping with the procedure we've been using in the advancement and merit
badge pages, changes between the 1998 and 1999 editions are marked in the
test of each page. Deletions are shown by red strikethrough text, and new
text is shown in purple underlined text.
However, for ease in printing out copies of sections of the Guide for use
off-line, we have also prepared a second version, showing only the current
wording, without the colors or underlining. That version can be accessed
from the pages in the directory listed above, or from:

If you find any errors, please let me know.
Yours in Scouting,
