Angeles Chapter Safety Committee

The Chapter Safety Committee reviews and approves outings procedures established by Groups, Sections and Committees and Task Forces (GSCs); monitors Campfire Events and Chapter schedules and newsletters and other GSC outlets to ensure that leaders are qualified and outings are appropriate; investigates outing incidents and some complaints from participants; and grants ratings to leaders. For more on managing our outings program, including contacts for Leadership Training and Outings Management committees please see our Management page.
