Arrival at Meetings (No Drop-offs)

BSA rules prohibit one-on-one contact between youth and adults in our meetings. Scouts are not to be dropped off in the parking lot. Instead, a parent or other family member should come inside to ensure that we have sufficient adults present before leaving. Effective October 1, 2018: two registered adult leaders 21 years of age or over are required at all Scouting activities, including meetings.
