When do you need a Scouting America certificate of general liability insurance?

  • You do not need a certificate of Scouting America general liability insurance for your chartered partner (sponsoring organization). By default, a Scouting unit’s-chartered partner is covered by the policy.
  • When your Scout unit meets at a location other than your chartered partner (sponsoring organization), and the organization allowing you to meet at their location requests a certificate of insurance.
  • When hosting a Scout unit fundraiser booth at a community event, the organizer will often request this certificate.
  • Some organizations, other than chartered partners, may require listing them as an additional insured for a specific time or event.
