The following rules have been approved by the SLD board to promote the well being of all the people involved in SLD sponsored youth activities. They are consistent with our Unitarian Universalist belief in freedom and responsibility. Besides, you can't attend the conference without this form, so read it over and sign it. 1> All participants, youth and adult, must sign their agreement to these rules. 2> The age range for youth activities is 12 - 18. Youth must be enrolled in high school. 3> The adult advisors will be 25 years and older. 4> All adult youth advisors will adhere to the ³Code of Ethics for persons working with children and youth in UUA sponsored programs.² 5> The adult / youth ratio for all activities outside of the church shall be 1:7. (For all you math geniuses, this means that there must one adult for every five youth. Each youth group is responsible for making sure they have enough advisors to meet this requirement.) 6> No illegal drugs, alcohol, dangerous materials, or firearms. Smoking is permitted only in designated areas. 8> No sexual activity. This is defined as intercourse, heavy petting, or sharing of sleeping bags. (Best plan of action: don't touch anyone, don't look at anyone, and don't sleep.) 9> No leaving or arriving at the designated area / retreat location without informing and / or permission of the supervisor. 10> Violation of these rules will result in the offender being asked to leave. If this means that in order to return you to your home the correct ratio of advisors to youth is not maintained, then all participants will have to leave, effectively spoiling it for everyone. Notes: 1> Take care of yourself. You are an important part of the SLD youth community. 2> Be considerate and respectful of others. This includes the physical and emotional well-being of the participants, the local community, the hosts and the church. 3> The basic enforcement of the rules is the responsibility of everyone. 4> Remember that rarely is anything the sole fault of one person. If you share the responsibility you share the blame. Look out for each other and respect others opinions, positions and beliefs. I have read the rules and agree to abide by them.
