No matter which program area you work in - Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, or Venturing - there will be occasions when the leaders and youth participants in a BSA-authorized trip or outing will be both male and female.

These guidelines to be followed when making overnight arrangements:

• All leaders are expected to reflect high moral standards established by customs, traditional values and religious teachings.
• Male and female leaders are required to have separate sleeping facilities. Married couples may share the same quarters if appropriate facilities are available.
• Male and female youth participants will not shared the same sleeping facility. When staying in tents, no youth will stay in the tent of an adult other than his or her parent or guardian.
• If housing other than tents is used, separate facilities must be provided for male and female participants. Adult male leaders must be responsible for the male participants. Adult female leaders must be responsible for the female participants.
• Adult leaders need to respect the privacy of youth members in situations such as changing into swimsuits or taking showers, and intrude only to the extent that health and safety require. Leaders also need to protect their own privacy in similar situations.
