In the event of any illness or injury, I hereby consent to whatever examination, diagnosis, or treatment and the hospital care from a licensed dentist, physician, and/or surgeon as deemed necessary for my child’s safety and welfare.

I hereby release, to the fullest extend permitted by law, Folksy Scouts, Inc. and the affiliates, from any and all actions, claims, demands, or liabilities that I, my assignees, heirs, distributes, guardians, and legal representatives now have or may hereafter have for injury or damage resulting from my son/daughter’s participation in these activities irrespective of whether the same is based on breach of warranty, negligence, strict liability or any other theory or recovery.

Participation Agreement(Required)

I agree to the participation policy.

The Folksy Scouts Foundations cover a wide range of topics and activities. Foundational lessons include outdoor exploration, fire starting, knife work, working around a stove, etc which require children to be able to follow directions and work independently at times. Troop leaders will work to support each child to ensure a successful experience at Folksy Scouts. We are open and accepting of all children and will do our best to meet the needs of all children participating, however the organization reserves the right to cancel membership if a child is not ready or willing to participate safely in the program. Our curriculum and Folksy Pledge inherently supports empowerment, teaches judgement, honors boundaries, values intuition, increases awareness, models clear communication and encourages healthy expression of all feelings. The organization will make attempts to remedy any issues by means of 1:1 communication and redirection with the child during meetings and behavior planning with parent/guardian, as well as discussion of any incidents with the Assistant Director and Director prior to dismissal.
