Golden Empire Council Statement on Scouting Activities during COVID-19
Updated March 24, 2021

Dear Golden Empire Council Leaders,

The California Regional Stay at Home Order for the Greater Sacramento Region was lifted. This announcement moves our counties back into the less restrictive tiers effective immediately. The Council contacted the Sacramento County Public Health Department for additional information and guidance on how or if this change would affect in person Scouting.

Sacramento County confirmed that our units can resume meeting in small groups, utilizing the County day camp guidelines while in the less restrictive tier. The County guidelines are below, please note these do not allow for any overnight camping and must be followed. Guidelines may differ by county, please contact your local county directly.

 It is vital that units who chose to resume in person meetings follow both the county guidelines and the Restart Scouting Check list.
