Recognize that ice will never be completely safe.
Conditions and unseen or unknown factors can render seemingly safe ice suddenly dangerous. Take all care and precautions to avoid mishaps and to put rescue plans into immediate action should something go wrong.
Knowing how to judge ice conditions will also help you make more informed decisions while enjoying your outing with your scouts.
Be familiar with ice safety, educate yourself and your scouts:
