Protecting Participants
1.
Don’t let any youth drive – put
adults in charge and don’t allow
horseplay on the roads like
“Chinese fire drills”. Make sure
everyone wears seat-belts or
take major points away if they
are caught on film without them
on. You could also conduct the
scavenger hunt on foot. You
don’t want a participant killed
while speeding during your
scavenger hunts.
