Introduction
Challenging young people to go outside their comfort zone contributes to their social, physical, intellectual, character, emotional, and spiritual development. We are responsible for the safety of the young people who participate in our activities. Certain activities, because of their inherent risks, are not permitted for Scouting.
If you are in doubt, discuss the program activity with the Council Key 3.
