UPDATE ON COUNCIL PROGRAM EVENTS
Time to put the “outing” back in Scouting!
We are now scheduling our programs to return in full. So far, we have had several successful programs during the fall of 2020, with careful consideration of the possible impacts of the continuing pandemic. We’ll have more programs coming soon!
Please see the Events webpage and the current newsletter for the latest on some of these programs. As more information becomes available, we will share that with you in separate e-mail updates.
Important: Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, although preventive measures are being taken, we cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not come in contact with or become infectied with COVID-19. Therefore, attendance at all of these events will require an adult to read and sign an “Informed Consent Waiver“, acknowledging that you understand the contagious nature of the virus and assume all risk for you and/or your children attending these activities. A copy of the waiver is attached to the online registration for each event and you will be able to sign for acknowledgement electronically during the registration process. You may review a copy of the waver at this link, as well,
The Scout Shop remains open from 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. No more than five customers will be allowed in the Scout Shop and front counter area at a time, including children. Face coverings and all other social distancing protocols will remain in place.
What can all Scouting members do to protect themselves and others
- Scouting members should take the same precautions they would for any common cold or flu.
- Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. *(Alcohol-based hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol content can work in a pinch, but they’re generally not as effective as soap and water).
- Hands should be washed before eating, after using the bathroom, and when you come inside from outdoor activities that caused hands to get dirty.
- Avoid touching your mouth, eyes or noses.
- Cough and/or sneeze into your elbows and not your hands.
- Distance yourself from anyone coughing or sneezing.
- Encourage Healthy Habits, like eating a healthy diet, exercising, and getting enough sleep.
- If you are sick, stay away from school, work, Scouts and others.
- If you have any symptoms of the virus, seek medical attention immediately and follow the advice of your medical professional.
Let’s all set the example to be safe during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
