BSA transportation regulation regarding passenger vans

Regarding vehicles used to transport Scouts, effective September 1, 2015, 15-person passenger vans manufactured before 2005 are no longer permitted for use in Scouting activities.  15-person passenger vans manufactured in 2005 or later may be used as long as they have both electronic stability control and seat belts for all occupants.

BSA reminds leaders that such vans are not generally the primary vehicle of the intended driver, and driving a fully-loaded van can prove to be challenging if not done with due care.
