Children Under age 12 (Otters, Timberwolves, and young Pathfinders)

No adult leader or adult scout shall communicate directly via email, text, or similar technology with any youth scout member. All communications will be directed to a parent or responsible adult guardian on record.

If a youth scout sends a message to a scout leader or adult, that leader or adult will direct any reply to the scout’s parent or responsible adult guardian on record.

Exceptions may be made to this policy in regards to private reports of suspected abuse.
