Adult Officer of the deck (OOD) & 2nd & 3rd adults (BSA 2 deep) for Saturday Afternoons

The Officer of the Deck is a Mariner Adult who assumes overall responsibility for the activities of the Mariners and Mariner Juniors for the time period on the date selected.  The Officer of the deck has the responsibility to coordinate with all other adult advisors and representatives of the County at the facility.  The Officer of the Deck should work closely with the Boatswain of the Deck and to the degree feasible convey direction to the youth through the Boatswain of the Deck.

The 2nd and 3rd adults should report to the OOD for direction.  The whalers should always have an adult on board unless an exception is made by the OOD.  The 2nd and 3rd adults should feel empowered to direct and discipline youth as deemed necessary.  The BSA requires 2 deep adult leadership at all times.
