Guidelines
Code of Conduct
- First and foremost, Honor God in all that you do. If this rule is
kept all the others will fall into place. - Respect fellow students and leaders.
- Do NOT separate yourself from the group. (i.e., If we are meeting in
The Greenhouse, stay in the Greenhouse (surrounding area). - Do NOT separate yourself from the group.
- Turn OFF all electronic devices during meetings.
- NO PDA! Refrain from public displays of affection. This
means no sitting on laps, no hanging on each other, no questionable displays of affection. If you are not sure if it is acceptable, then it probably isn’t. You know the difference between a hug among friends and unacceptable behavior. - The use of drugs, alcohol and tobacco products will not be allowed in ANY
circumstance. If it appears that you have used any of the above prior
to coming to any meetings it will be deemed as use and will be treated
accordingly. - The use of profane and objectionable language will not be tolerated.

there are seatbelts available – no “doubling up” or
