What is the distinction between parent or guardian responsibility and the responsibility of 4-H as an organization in keeping kids safe at overnight events?
The responsibility for the well-being of children lies with each and every one of us. If an event involving young people overnight is identified as a 4-H event (that is, if it has affiliation with the 4-H name or emblem), the 4-H staff and volunteers having responsibility always retain the authority to exercise their best judgment to ensure the safety of the young people involved.
