Clarifications to the Revised Covid-19 Posture:

FUNDRAISING:

For those Branches who normally do joint fundraising with both Sea Cadets and Navy League cadets and staff participating, there has been a change for Sea Cadets and RCSCC officers:   

• RCSCC CO’s will need to submit a request for approval of fundraising to be able to participate. 
• Navy League Cadet Corps have the green light if the Corps has been approved for in person training.

VOLUNTEERS:

• The CAF has not given permission for Sea, Army or Air Cadets to volunteer with NLCCs yet 
• Adult volunteers are now permitted to attend Sea Cadet training activities while adhering to public health measures and screening requirements.
• There is a new “one page” application that must be submitted to RCSCC CO’s for screening verification prior to volunteers returning to in-person activities
• “Visitors” (canteen supervisor, guest speaker, presenter, etc.) don’t need screening but must be directly supervised at all times by a CAF member or screened volunteer
• “Occasional support” (drivers, fundraising, assistance, etc.) new screening requirements are in transition for “Basic” screening but RCSU Central is seeking approval from the CAF to allow for some flexibility for parent drivers with previous screening parameters to be acceptable in the interim as the new system continues to evolve
• With the exception of Cadets (see earlier comments above), adult volunteers who have been screened by the Navy League,  are permitted to return to assist with Navy League Cadet Corps but must adhere to health and safety protocols where they remain in effect.
• Canteens can be open again but any volunteers operating the canteen must be screened and /or supervised and adhere to COVID cleaning and sanitization processes and cadets should still be encouraged to wash or sanitize their hands before and after Stand Easy, maintain social distancing to the extent possible, and not share snacks or drinks.
