Event FAQ COVID-19

We encourage people to travel to and from the Webelos Woods as families or household groups. However, the final decision on travel arrangements will be at the discretion of each parent.

We fully anticipate social distancing will be a part of our Webelos Woods. Program will be offered in-campsite, with limited interaction between units. We are encouraging participants to adhere to best practices, including maintaining six feet of distance when possible. Masks should be worn when it is likely that participants will be within 6 feet, and when inside structures.

Our expectation is that any participant who exhibits symptoms of COVID-19 would promptly contact their physician for evaluation. If a test is administered and the results are positive for COVID-19, a public health official will contact the individual. Please discuss the individual’s involvement in a Scouting activity with them and provide Northern Star’s contact information (Kris Burbank: 612-261-2450 or kburbank@northernstar.org). Public health will reach out to us directly.

If the symptoms occur greater than 14 days after conclusion of the activity the risk of COVID related to the activity or transmission to others present at the activity would be extremely low.
