Magnolia & Bayou Team Notice
In this special edition: Quiet Rooms

In an effort to make sure that our regional events accommodate everyone, both the Magnolia Regional and the Bayou Regional will have quiet spaces and a quiet room available for your use. These spaces can be used by teams, mentors, volunteers or public as long as they are used appropriately.
WHAT IS APPROPRIATE USE?
Quiet Space: Volunteer Lounge when not in use for meals
This space is always supervised by the volunteer coordination staff or an adult volunteer. A team adult is not required for a minor to use this space.
Appropriate Use Examples:
Overstimulation, headache, conflict resolution, approved meetings
How to access:
Request access to this space at pit admin. Pit administration staff will decide if the access is appropriate and if an adult mentor or guardian is required to escort a team member to the space.
