Every message that includes a youth also goes to that youth's guardians.

SMS Terms

Youth protection

Every message that includes a youth also goes to that youth's guardians. The rules are enforced on the server, and no role can turn them off.

Unit messages

Leaders, Youth Leaders, and Admins send messages to people in their own unit. Messages are delivered by email and can be read in Scout Connect. A text is sent only after an explicit opt-in.

Privacy

A unit's messages, files, and roster stay inside that unit. People sign in with a code sent to their email.
