COS Quest Youth Restrictions Initiated:
In order to better ease concerns of parents and to further protect the youths of our organization, COS has instituted Youth Restrictions which directly affect all club members ages 14 - 18:

If you are age 14 - 15: Sponsorship Guidelines
* You must have your parents/guardians sign a properly completed COS Quest Disclaimer Form prior to your admittance into your first COS Quest Event of the year.

* You must have a completed COS Quest Sponsorship Form with 5 Sponsors (3 of which must be present at each COS Quest Event you attend).

* You may only attend COS Quest Weekend Events if there are 3 or more of your COS Adult Sponsors (18 yrs or older) in good standing (no prior verbal or written reprimands by COS) at the event. Should you have less than 3 at an event, it is your responsibility to find a new sponsor(s) prior to the start of an event and complete new paperwork.

If you are age 16 - 17:
* You must have your parents/guardians sign a properly completed COS Quest Disclaimer Form prior to your admittance into your first COS Quest Event of the year.

* You must provide valid proof of age when you register that you are 16 years of age or older. If you are unable to provide valid proof of age, you must follow the guidelines for Sponsorship listed above.

* Once you are able to provide positive age identification upon reaching 16 years of age or older, you no longer require Sponsors.

If you are age 18:
* You must provide valid proof of age when you register. If you are unable to provide valid proof of age, you must follow the guidelines for Sponsorship listed above.

To Be A COS Sponsor:
* You must be 18 years of age or older and have a properly completed COS Quest Disclaimer Form prior to your admittance into your first COS Quest Event of the year.

* You must be in good standing with the COS organization (no prior verbal or written warnings).

* You must be willing to attend the entire event and supervise the actions of the sponsored youth.

* You must be willing to accept supervisory responsibility of the youth as an adult advisor in the COS organization and conduct yourself in a manner becoming such responsibility.

* Should you leave the COS event early, you must notify COS and your sponsored youth immediately, as the participation of your sponsored youth may end immediately at that time if the youth has less than 3 sponsors at the event.

Any abuse of these privileges or falsification of COS Documents will result in the immediate loss of these Sponsorship privileges until you turn 18 years of age.
