Puddle Scouts is an 18+ organization.
RSVP: This will help us determine how many people are attending, how much food will be available or needed, or how many seats will be needed.
GUESTS: All attendees need to RSVP for the hosts to vet them, including any plus ones.
ARRIVING LATE: Events will not be delayed for late-arriving individuals, for extenuating circumstances contact the event organizer.
REGISTRATION: We may use Eventbrite a third-party service to handle registration and donation collection for some of our events. For Kink @ Pride with The Chicago Coalition of Kink Clubs you will be required to RSVP via humanitix.
GENERAL PUBLIC: Please do not divulge details about any event to the general public.
DIAPERS: No purposeful messing of diapers is allowed. Ensure that all diapers are disposed of properly.
SUBSTANCES: The use of illegal or prohibited substances is strictly prohibited at all Puddle Scouts or Puddle Scouts Sponsored events. Puddle Scouts will attempt to connect individuals with substance use issues with help and treatment.
VANILLA ATTIRE: When "vanilla attire" is requested you should dress in a manner that would be publicly acceptable. Dress as if you were a "vanilla" person for the day (this does not pertain to wearing diapers under your clothing, which is always allowed). Generally, events that are given this designation are popular with newcomers to the community, helping them feel safe and welcomed by dressing appropriately so as to not draw attention.
MODEST ATTIRE: When modest attire is requested we expect that you dress in a manner that would be considered "low-key" kinky (Ex. small amounts of peekage, shortalls, onesies with pants/shorts/skirts/dresses, tails, harnesses, collars). If you are questioning whether or not you should wear something, play it safe and don't wear it. You can always ask a member of our leadership team for guidance.
AS YOU PLEASE: When the attire for an event is listed as "as you please", you may simply come as you please. We do advise you to ensure that your travel to and from the event is safe and legal. Always bring a change of "vanilla acceptable" clothing just in case. If you have any questions about this attire you can always ask a member of our leadership team for guidance.
AS YOU PLEASE (STREET LEGAL): When the attire for an event is listed as "as you please (street legal)", you may simply come as you please taking extra care to insure that your dress is in compliance with all local laws and ordinaces. As a general rule your "hole & pole" (private parts) must be coverd at all times.
CONSENT: Puddle Scouts is dedicated to providing a safe experience for everyone. While attending a Puddle Scouts event, please treat others with respect and watch out for others in our community. Remember that wearing gear is not consent and that no means no. As a general practice you should be obtaining affirmative consent before any actions involving another.
PHOTOS: Taking photos is discouraged to protect the privacy of others. Photos are only allowed with the full consent of everyone within the photo. (Puddle Scouts leadership may ask to take photos with the group, you are always allowed to exclude yourself from these photos if you wish). Jackhammer staff may be taking photos inside the venue, if you do not wish to have your photo taken simply tell the photographer.
BILL: At any event where you will pay for a service (ie. food), you are responsible for your own bill.
MATURITY: Do not create or bring drama to the munch; this includes gossip, hearsay, rumor, bad mouthing, etc.
In the case that one of these agreements is broken, the following may occur:
You will be warned or asked to stop.
You may be kicked out of the event.
You may be banned from attending future Puddle Scouts Events.
