Wearing face masks while sleeping can be impracticable and therefore is at the option of the individual. The limits on the number of people allowed in a single indoor area for sleepovers has been reduced to reflect this.
Groups can implement their own guideline that 11 year old Scouts should wear face masks during indoor activities to avoid complexity in determining who should or should not wear a face mask.
However, no 11 year old Scout should be denied the opportunity to attend if they or their parents do not wish them to wear a face mask.
