PeteM 10 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 What is meant by Direct Contact? I keep hearing about certain leaders having Direct Contact with the youth, and others that don't. Who has Direct Contact and why don't others have it? Thanks Pete Link to post Share on other sites
ghermanno 11 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 With the limmited info, I can guess. The Cub Scout program has positions (Den Leaders, Cubmaster, and assistants) that have "Direct Contact" with the boys. The Committee, on the other hand, does not have "Direct Contact" as far as their scout duties are concerned. Now usually they are parents and do have direct contact but NOT as a scouter. This is like the cook in a school. They do not have direct contact with the kids like the teachers do. Doesn't mean the kids don't see them or know them but they do not have direct contact in their job. Rick Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 That's how I interpret Direct Contact, Rick! Another term you'll hear is "Unit Serving": These are Scouters who are registered within a unit , as opposed to District or Commissioner Service. Link to post Share on other sites
infoscouter 11 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Other direct contact leaders are SMs and ASMs, Advisors and Asst Advisors, Skippers and Mates, Varsity Scout coaches and their assistants. Link to post Share on other sites
