6 Youth Protection Guidelines at Camp The Boy Scouts of America have a very successful policy concerning the protection of youth and adults at camp. This policy is contained in the two-deep policy that every unit must abide by. We train all camp staff members in these policies and a brief summary is provided to unit Leaders so we can provide a safe and secure environment while at Camp Morrison . Every unit must have at least two registered adult Leaders present during their entire stay at camp, one of which must be 21 years of age or older. You cannot switch out Leaders until the replacement has actually arrived. Arriving Leaders must check in at the Trading Post. Transportation to and from camp must be in safe and insured vehicles with seat belts for all passengers. Do not allow riders in the back of pickup trucks.

7 Youth are not allowed to be alone in tents with adults at any time unless it is their parent or guardian. Youth and adults must not shower or undress together at any time. No one-on-one activities between youth and adults are permitted at any time. Corporal punishment, hazing, initiation, physical, sexual, or emotional abuse will not be tolerated at any time. Two registered adult Leaders must be in camp at all times. In emergency situations, the unit leader may contact the Camp Director to request the camp to provide a second leader for a limited amount of time. 5. 2018 Camp Morrison Leaders Guide The Sweet Sixteen of BSA safety Camp Morrison Staff has been trained to follow the Sweet Sixteen of BSA safety . Please ensure all your adult Leaders who attend Camp are trained and understand these principles. Few youth organizations encompass the breadth, volume, and diversity of physical activity common to Scouting, and none enjoys a better safety record.

8 The key to maintaining and improving this exemplary record is the conscientious and trained adult leader who is attentive to safety concerns. As an aid in the continuing effort to protect participants in Scouting activities, the health and safety Team of the BSA National Council has developed the "Sweet Sixteen" of BSA safety procedures for physical activity. These 16 points, which embody good judgment and common sense, are applicable to all activities. 1. QUALIFIED SUPERVISION: Every BSA activity should be supervised by a conscientious adult who understands and knowingly accepts responsibility for the well-being and safety of the children and youth in his or her care. The supervisor should be sufficiently trained, experienced, and skilled in the activity to be confident of his/her ability to lead and to teach the necessary skills and to respond effectively in the event of an emergency.

9 Field knowledge of all applicable BSA standards and a commitment to implement and follow BSA policies and procedures are essential parts of the supervisor's qualifications. 2. PHYSICAL FITNESS: For youth participants in any potentially strenuous activity, the supervisor should receive a complete health history from a health -care professional, parent, or guardian. Adult participants and youth involved in higher-risk activity ( , scuba) may require professional evaluation in addition to the health history. The supervisor should adjust all supervision, discipline, and protection to anticipate potential risks associated with individual health conditions. Neither youth nor adults should participate in activity for which they are unfit. To do so would place both the individual and others at risk. 3. BUDDY SYSTEM: The long history of the "buddy system" in Scouting has shown that it is always best to have at least one other person with you and aware at all times as to your circumstances and what you are doing in any outdoor or strenuous activity.

10 4. SAFE AREA OR COURSE: A key part of the supervisor's responsibility is to know the area or course for the activity and to determine that it is well-suited and free of hazards. 5. EQUIPMENT SELECTION AND MAINTENANCE: Most activity requires some specialized equipment. The equipment should be selected to suit the participant and the activity and to include appropriate safety and program features. The supervisor should also check equipment to determine that it is in good condition for the activity and is properly maintained while in use. 6. PERSONAL safety EQUIPMENT: The supervisor must ensure that every participant has and uses the appropriate personal safety equipment. For example, activity afloat requires a PFD. properly worn by each participant; bikers, horseback riders, and whitewater kayakers need helmets for certain activities; skaters may need protective gear; and all need to be dressed for warmth and utility depending on the circumstances.
