    • Request the gym be locked prior to scout meeting, so no scouts are able to wander in unsupervised.
    • Also need to insure there are 2 adults in the gym when scouts are present.

Also need to monitor the number of balls available when playing games
i.e. if the scouts are playing basketball only basketballs should be out. Do not allow scouts to bring out volleyballs or any other type of balls in the closet.
