It's important for kids to know what to do if they get lost. This is a good topic to combine with a field trip or visit from a police officer, but if that doesn't work for your group you can sub in another community helper or a different activity for the first half of your meeting.

What to do if you get lost in a public place
STOP! Stand as tall as possible and stay where you are, as long as it's a safe place.
SHOUT! It's ok to yell or shout, even in a library or other quiet place. If you can't see your grown up, it's ok to be loud.
Find a safe adult
Know your name, your grown up's name, and their phone number.
You won't be in trouble! Your family just wants to make sure you are safe.
Whoever you ask for help, insist that you stay in the same area unless there's a big emergency that makes it unsafe. Your family and emergency personnel will be looking for you in the area you were last seen.

Tricky People
Some tricky people might be strangers
Some tricky people might be people you know
You don't have to be polite
Always check first
We don't keep secrets
Not telling someone about a present is not a secret, that's a surprise. Surprises are ok, but if a grown up asks you to keep a secret, you need to tell your trusted adult.
Give some examples and asks the Otters what they should do in that situation
