COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions can vary greatly from state to state, from county to county, or even from town to town. Restrictions will also fluctuate in response to COVID-19 transmission risk. Since it is imperative to stay within current local regulations, troops should frequently:

• Check your states’ Department of Health to ensure your jurisdiction is in compliance with its specific statutory norms and laws. List of State Departments of Public Health
• Verify whether or not your state’s governor has implemented any restrictive changes in response to elevated COVID-19 transmission risk: State by State Coronavirus-Related Restrictions
• Survey families for their comfort level with respect to returning to in-person gatherings
• Volunteers should regularly check and follow real-time local and national safety directives

In addition to monitoring state and local guidance it is important that you continue to monitor and implement the appropriate health and safety steps provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
