The national office of Boy Scouts of America has put together a comprehensive checklist to use when restarting scouting. The checklist outlines several minimum protocols that adult leaders must consider while working with our local and state health departments, our local council, our Chartered Organizations, and our families to determine when and how to resume scout meetings, service projects, camping, and all other official Scouting activities. National's message is this: if it is not practical to meet these minimal protocols, do not restart in-person activities! The checklist uses the acronym S A F E to highlight several areas of focus: S = Supervision; A = Assessment; F = Fitness and Skill; and E = Equipment and Environment. The checklist is attached to this announcement, but is also available at https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-693.pdf. A companion pre-screening tool is also attached and available at https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/HealthSafety/pdf/680-057.pdf.

The Atlanta Area Council has put together fall recruiting resources for our Packs. The Council's Pack recruiting webpage has a step-by-step system your Pack can follow for recruiting this fall. If you missed the New Member Recruiting in New Times Training last week, a link to the video is available at the bottom of the recruiting resources page or check out the Council's YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AACBoyScouts/videos.

When considering an in-person gathering or activity, answer these questions in order:

1. Are we allowed?
2. If we're allowed, can we and how will we do it safely?
3. If we’re allowed and we can do it safely, will people come?
