ACTIVITY SWEEPS

* As SWEEP make sure everybody knows who you are and what the Sweep will be doing! Leaders and Sweeps carry radios for safety use, route confirmation etc.

* If the Leader requests you to, ask if anybody needs a ride and help set that up; mention the suggested hiking and rambling carpool gratuity (posted on individual schedule sheets) and which everybody is encouraged to pay; point out that it is not paid to the driver until the activity is completed (again, insurance reasons - we are not Taxi Drivers!)

* During the activity, emphasize that everyone MUST remain behind the LEADER and in front of the SWEEP.

* Each person will be asked to tell someone for those times when leaving the trail for a "nature call"; if a person DOES get separated from the group, he or she must stay put; an individual is much easier to find if they refrain from wandering off.

* The activity will take place at the pace of the average participant.

* When appropriate, explain about the possibility of ticks and how to deal with them.
