Upcoming change to Guide to Safe Scouting |
|
While it is the end of August and school is just beginning, we would like to advise you of an upcoming change to the Winter Sports Safety section of the Guide to Safe Scouting,
Currently, Section 3 states that "Suitable clothing for the activity and environment should be worn at all times, and equipment should include gloves and helmets when appropriate."
The following change will be made to the Guide to Safe Scouting and published as an Alert on Scouting Safely.
"Appropriate personal protective equipment is required for all activities. This includes the recommended use of helmets for all participants engaged in winter sports such as sledding and other sliding devices. The use of helmets is required for the following activities: downhill skiing, snowboarding, and operation of snowmobiles (full-face helmets)." |

Want an easy way to reinforce them?
The answer is promoting Religious Emblems. A recent study by the Greater St Louis Area Council, BSA revealed that all stake-holders from parents, leaders, staff, donors, and even executive Board members say that they are involved with the Boy Scout movement because they believe in the values that BSA teaches. Religious emblems reinforce these values. By supplementing the teaching of these values you should see an increase in retention as all of your stakeholders are satisfied.
