 +//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.// 
 + 
 +  * Opening Ceremony 
 +  * Police Visit or Station Tour 
 +  * Snack & Story Time 
 +  * 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 
 +      * How can you tell if someone is safe? They might be wearing a uniform or a nametag showing that they work at the place you are. If you can't see a uniformed person, look for a parent with kids. 
 +    * Know your name, your grown up's name, and their phone number. 
 +      * It's also a good idea to know your address for if you get lost in your neighborhood. 
 +    * 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. 
 +  * Make Child ID Kits 
 +  * Tricky People 
 +    * Some tricky people might be strangers 
 +      * Grown ups should never approach children they don't know or ask them for help. If an adult asks you to help them, find a trusted adult and tell them. 
 +    * Some tricky people might be people you know 
 +      * Trust your instincts! 
 +      * If someone makes you feel weird, tell a trusted adult. 
 +    * You don't have to be polite 
 +      * If someone makes you feel yucky, you can tell them, then tell your trusted adult. 
 +    * Always check first 
 +      * If someone is giving you a special gift or offering to take you somewhere, ask your adult 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 
 +  * Closing Ceremony
