-====== Use of Electronic Devices ====== 
  
-Our modern society is driven by technology that seems to be ever present in our lives: from 
-social media, to smart phones, personal computers, to other tablet type devices, it’s all around. 
-Organization members and leaders have an obligation to be aware of any electronic imaging 
-and or recording device(s) present during OSG sanctioned events. It is inappropriate for 
-anyone to use such devices to record sound or images during any activity in areas where there 
-is an expectation of privacy, such as restrooms, portable outdoor restrooms, showers, inside 
-tents, and other areas where normal privacy would be observed. 
- 
-If a scout or their family insist on the scout being “connected” electronically, it’s best for a 
-leader to either (a) collect and occasionally monitor the scout’s devices (for incoming parent 
-messages) and/or (b) collect devices and allow scouts to contact their family on a prearranged 
-schedule. Better yet, many groups adopt a policy of not allowing digital devices on campouts 
-or at activities. Leaders can inform parents that in keeping with traditional scouting values, 
-technological items should not be left at home, with adults able to notify parents in case of an 
-emergency.
