  • Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

  • The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Friends of Israel Scouts (Tzofim) and the Shvatim have put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, The Tzofim and the Shvatim cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participation in the Tzofim and the Shvatim meetings and activities could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.

    READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING

    By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participation; and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that there is a risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at The Tzofim and Shvatim meetings and activities.

    I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to myself or my child(ren) (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I may experience or incur in connection with my participation The Tzofim and the Shvatim meetings and activities. On my behalf, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Tzofim and the Shvatim, their employees, volunteers, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence the Tzofim and the Shvatim, their employees, volunteers, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation at The Tzofim meeting and activities.

    By signing this document, I agree that if I am exposed or infected by COVID-19 during my participation in the Tzofim meetings and activities, then I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the parties being released on the basis of any claim for negligence.

    I agree that, to the best of their ability, my child will follow all Tzofim and Shvatim safety guidelines and will attempt to practice safe social distancing and clean hygiene at all times during their participation.

  • Rules and Procedures

  • During the month of March, as a response to the Coronavirus crisis, we had to adapt to a new reality and move our Peulot online. Recently, a gradual process of returning to normalcy has begun, with an emphasis on social distancing and maintaining public health. These days we are witnessing the reopening of some of the educational institutions and various activities in the community. We have used these to guide us and help us assess the opening of the year for Shevet Tapuz, paying close attention to education, health, and safety. The procedures detailed in this document are temporary and valid until it is possible to return to our normal Peulot. They will be constantly updated in accordance with the CDC’s recommendations.

    Note if the local or state authorities will tighten the guidelines we will act accordingly, however if the guidelines will be softened, a decision will be made in cooperation with the Tzabar leadership team.

    General
    • Shevet Tapuz will make its best effort to continue with consistent, valuable, and diverse Peulot.
    • Shevet Tapuz will follow the procedures and the guidance of local government institutions, as well as instructions from the leadership at Tzabar, while strict adherence to the CDC guidance.
    • The parents of the chanichim will be required to sign a waiver document in which they commit to follow the new rules during the activities in addition to signing this procedure document.
    • Any Chanich, Madrich, volunteer, or any person who attended a Peula in the last 14 days and has been confirmed COVID-19 must report to the head of the Shevert Maya or Dorit.
    • Any Chanich, Madrich, volunteer, or any person who has left the United States must refrain from attending Peulot for 14 days.
    • Any Chanich, Madrich, volunteer, or any person who has been in close contact with someone confirmed COVID-19 must refrain from attending Peulot for 14 days since exposure.
    • Any Chanich, Madrich, volunteer, or any person who has experienced fever, vomiting, diarrhea, lost of taste, loss of smell, or any other COVID-19 related symptoms, will be able to participate in Peulot only 10 days since first experiencing the symptoms, and 24 hours without a fever (and without taking antipyretic drugs), even if tested negative for the COVID-19.
    Prior arrival to the Peulot
    • Any Chanich, Madrich, volunteer, or any person who participates in a Peula must have their body temperature taken before arriving at the Peula. Avoid coming to the Peula If the temperature exceeds 100.4 Fahrenheit or 38 Celsius.
    • On the day of a Peula, a text message with a health declaration form will be sent to the parents of the Chanichim and Madrichim. The parents must sign a form for each participant before their child shows up to the Peula. All surfaces used in the Peula will be sanitized before the beginning of a Peula.
    Upon arrival
    • Upon arrival, Chanichim will be dropped off to avoid a crowd at the entrance. If any member from Shahbag or volunteer arrives with their personal vehicle, they will park in the parking lot and have their temperature taken and pass through a hand sanitizer station.
    • Chanichim and their parents are asked to remain in their vehicles until a representative from the Shevet will come to direct the Chanich in preparation for the Peula. Due to the current circumstances and guidelines, only Chanichim and Shachbagistim may enter the location of the Peula.
    • Every Chanich, Madrich, and volunteer will have their temperature taken upon arrival to the Peula. Entry will not be permitted if the results are greater than 100.4 ℉ or 38 ℃,

    • All activities will be held in an outdoor space to conform with the guidelines. The activities will be held in small capsules while keeping social distancing between the groups.
    • All Peulot will be held in groups of up to 12 participants, including the Madrich.
    • All Madrichim and Chanichim will wear a facemask during the Peula. During intense physical activity Chanichim will remove their masks.
    • All activities will not involve any physical contact between the Chanichim and not shared equipment. In addition, the Peula will not involve food, water, or any other activity that does not allow maintaining social distancing. There will be no Shevet Misdars or Moralim, unless it would be possible to maintain social distancing.
    • Individuals can bring their own packaged food and water, but they may not share with anyone else.
    • To prevent crowds, the Chanichim will store their belongings next to individual cones.
    • Any Chanich, Madrich, volunteer, or any person who has his or her temperature rises above 100.4 ℉ (38 ℃) or experiences any other symptoms during the Peula will be immediately isolated from the group and the Tzevet will contact the parents to have the child picked up at once.

    • During that period, the Shevet will have Peulot online for the group.
    Transition to Online Activity
