Electronics Policy
- Cell phones and headphones are allowed. If you’re asked to put them up by an adult or youth leader, please do so immediately.
- Cell numbers will be shared with Troop leaders and Greenbar/PLC so you can check in/ask for help when needed – please remember to always include 2 adults in any texts to adults for Youth Protection.
- No phone/ear buds in classes, during meals, when walking to and from locations, and when the troop is working together (loading/unloading) . We’ll have downtime when you can listen to your own music or play games. But remember we are also here to hang together as a patrol and troop.
- NO tablets except in lieu of a cell phone. If there is a specific circumstance, please speak with the Scoutmaster.
- If your device becomes an issue, it will be confiscated for the day or remaining week. Your parent will be notified so they know to reach out to a leader if they need to reach you.
