"DA RULES"

Non-negotiable guidance

All electronic equipment must be kept snugly in your room.  Cell phones and pagers need to stay home with your parents.  There will be limited periods where youth can send and receive email.

While on trips off-site, you need to stay in groups of four to have the most fun. (And it’s a rule)

We function as a family (We’ll explain)

You need to wear your gifts of T-shirts each day (Wouldn’t want to be rude!) 

You need to have the following clothing on these days.   For

• Tuesday--a modest swimsuit, and sunscreen.

• Wednesday--sturdy shoes for hiking on a volcano crater, and a hat, and sunscreen.

• Friday--tailored khaki walking shorts or pants or a skirt that will look nice for briefing a VIP.  (Think preppy, Dockers looking clothes.)   

Please leave your do rags, advertising baseball hats (bad words, beer ads, etc.), cutoffs, short shorts, baggy/saggy pants, pants with holes, thongs, teeny-weeny bikinis and spandex at home.  Rubber flip-flops (also known as thongs or slippers can be used in the dorm rooms or at the beach only.)  THANKS!

11:00 p.m. lights out, no exceptions (You better be tired by then anyway!!)

Don’t want any SADS at the Youth Leadership Forum (Sex, Alcohol, Drugs, and Smoking)

Tasteful display of appreciation and affection is okay (Giving hugs, pats on the back, etc.) but in public places only

During off-site time, you MUST be with an adult in your group at all times

Snacks will be eaten outside ‘cause you can’t bring food into the area we’ll be meeting in

Girls rooms are for GIRLS and Boys rooms are for BOYS…strictly enforced!

There will be Youth Leadership Forum Council made up of the following individuals to deal with anyone who breaks any of “DA RULES”…………

One Teen Staff Person

One Region Staff Person

One At-Large Teen

One Pacific Teen Panel Member

One Army Teen Panel Member
