What’s New?(Con’t) • Q. Why can we no longer play dodgeball? • Dodgeball has never been an authorized activity in Scouting. • Games and sports that involve participants throwing objects at each other, including dodgeball, have caused concussions and traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and ankle injuries. • There is also an aspect of bullying in the game, which has led to its removal from other youth-serving organizations. • We are monitoring the results of gaga ball; at this time, we consider gaga ball appropriate if the activity is set up, monitored, and supervised following manufacturers’ guidelines. See this BSA Incident Review for more information before starting a gaga ball activity: www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/incident-report/incident-reviews/gaga-ball/.
