StillLoomans Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Our crew works with a local bookstore for fundraising, accepting donations in return for giftwrapping items purchased at the bookstore. There are usually one or two parents working with two or three youth for a shift in a small area next to the check out lane in full view of the store employees and customers. Am I reading the new GTSS rules correctly, that now two registered adult leaders must attend the fundraising activity as well? Thanks for your assistance!

Thunderbird Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 The Youth Protection and Barriers to Abuse FAQs appears to say that you can have a parent of one of the participating Scouts present at the fundraising activity, and that parent could count as the second adult for two-deep leadership purposes: "Adult Supervision Q: The Barriers to Abuse say that there must be two registered adults present for all Scouting activities and meetings. Does that include merit badge counseling? Fund-raising events? A. Yes. However, the parent or legal guardian of the Scout may serve as the second adult. This parent or legal guardian does not have to be a registered leader." The way this is worded, it appears that fundraising activities (popcorn sales, etc.) and individual merit badge counseling are exceptions where a parent / legal guardian of a participating Scout can count as the second adult.

SSScout Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I would think that one adult Scouter could be present in such a public setting. Lots of other adult presences, yes? Not in the back of the store, out of sight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
