For scouters out there, regarding Youth Protection Guidelines.
What is your thoughts regarding YPT when you're sharing a shelter with non-scouters (i.e. other hikers not part of your group)?
I will be doing a section of the AT this weekend coming up on the CT/MA line with a total of 3 adults and 4 scouts. I believe the two places we plan to camp both have shelters. We expect rain and would like to use the shelters.
I expect since it's April with bad weather we won't see any thru-hikers or weekend warriors. It's likely we'll have the places to ourselves BUT we are prepared to tent as necessary.
Thoughts or comments welcome,
