Chaperones 10 Key Clubbers : 1 Chaperone Gender matters! If you have 1 female and 1 male student you must have 1 female and 1 male advisor This rule must be followed Communicate, plan ahead, and share chaperones with other clubs and divisions. Remember: Students may NEVER make chaperone- sharing decisions on behalf of the adults. This is about liability and proper etiquette. No one should ever volunteer chaperoning services on behalf of someone else without their permission.

Chaperones Look for chaperones EARLY Pay for chaperones’ registration, hotel, and Friday night food Thank you – in person and handwritten 1 chaperone for every 10 members (gender specific) Chaperones must be at least 21 years old and background checked Only chaperones can drive cars or vans
