Climb On Safely applies to all sites, whether fixed or portable. For council and district (Multi Units) climbing and rappelling activities, the Climbing/Rappelling National Standards (current year), No. 20-102, must be followed. What is Climb on Safely?Why have This?: The increased interest in climbing and rappelling has made BSA more aware of the inherent risks of climbing and rappelling. More accidents occur during unit rappelling than during council-managed climbing or rappelling, and more accidents have occurred during rappelling than climbing. Can we prevent accidents? Yes, Many climbing/rappelling accidents could be avoided by having qualified instruction from a conscientious adult who has the attention and respect of the youth entrusted to his or her care. Why have This?What is the Purpose?: Climb On Safely was designed to help adult leaders organize a climbing and rappelling program for their unit, similar to Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat. It was not designed to teach leaders how to instruct BSA youth in the skills of climbing and/or rappelling. Scouting is responsible to provide for the safety of those participating in climbing/rappelling activities. The Climb On Safely program was designed to promote safety and help prevent accidents.
