Write your section's safety plan (risk management and emergency plan). This builds on the Event's emergency plan. See the Emergency Plan page, which also includes a link to a sample section plan.(to be updated for 2024)

Throughout this period:
Section Representative will attend organizing meetings
Youth prepare by learning skills during regular meetings about:
how to dress in layers
how to stay warm and dry for the whole day, (e.g. to avoid rolling in snow)
how to be safe around a fire
how to keep their water bottle from freezing
to bring extra clothes.
Practicing the above skills at a shorter event (e.g. 2 hours) before attending Beaveree-Cuboree (6 to 7 hours) is recommended.
