Dear Fellow scouters
I have a question about how to handle a family group "shadowing" a
scout group on an outing. Specifically our troop took a 4 day canoe trip
but one scouts family also "tagged along". They camped at the same
sites, drove up with us and paddled with the troop. I think the reason
they chose not to come along as official members was due to lack of
medicals (inability to get clearance) and there were teen age sisters
and friends along. It was a public river so I doubt we could forbid
them to be on it. I'm sure some of you have had this situation....is
there anything to be said?
I personally have concerns about liability. How do you suggest we
handle this in the future?
Thank You for you input
