meetings, provided an adult is present to supervise them. Most outings
are Family activities.

Parents are encouraged to initial completed achievements and
electives in the book, but each Scout is responsible for meeting with a Leader
and getting their work signed off, and registered as completed. We prefer
that the Leader be someone other than their parent.
