Safety Wise Ratios & "Stuff"

Back Leader Lobby

Important Reminders:

1. During all group meetings and related small-group activities, the leader, assistant leader, or other responsible adult designated by the leader or by the council is present, and at least one of these must be an adult female not related to the other adults.

2. There may be trips when fathers or male leaders are part of the group. It is not appropriate for males to sleep in the same space with girl members. They may participate only if separate sleeping quarters and bathrooms are available for their use. In some circumstances, such as a museum or mall overnight with hundreds of girls, this type of accommodation may not be possible. If this is the case, men should not be part of the adults supervising girls in the sleeping area at the event. The adult-to- girl ratio for the trip will need to be adjusted accordingly.  Click here for important information regarding Youth Protection.  All adults who work with youth should read it.
