Activity Rating System
Look for the rating!
Age-Appropriate Rating Labels for Scouting Activities
All publicity for Taughannock District activities should indicate for which program(s) the activity is age-appropriate. If possible, organizers of District activities should use one of the following “rating labels” so that leaders and parents can easily determine if a given activity is for their program.
If any activity has an age or rank restriction in addition to the program rating, it should be indicated by a short text note underneath the label, for example, "First-Class and higher Scouts only", or "Scouts aged 13-17 only".
You can download a chart in PDF format with all ratings.

Activities which are for youth in Venturing Crews and Sea Scout Ships, as well as older youth in Scout Troops (14-17). Unless otherwise noted, younger Scout Leaders (18-20) may also attend with Venturers. | GIF | GIF |

Activity for Adult Leaders only. Use this rating alone if no youth members are invited.
If event is for leaders and older youth, use Y14+ in addition to
L.
Do not use "L" for normal youth-oriented activities (it's a given that leaders are expected to accompany Cubs, Scouts or Venturers). If only youth leaders are invited, add a text note under the graphic: - Senior Patrol Leaders, ASPL and JASM may
attend - |
