We've faced a similar problem with Boy Scouts. They are not allowed
to fly in EXPERIMENTAL aircraft. Makes it tough when the EAA chapter
is giving the rides, and huge surprise!! most of the aircraft are
Experimental. We've started telling Scout groups that their members
are welcome to come fly at Young Eagle events, but not to do it as
part of an official scout activity - i.e. no uniform, etc.


The Boy Sprouts also require a million dollars of liability insurance and
require you to disclose all sorts of stuff (carrier, etc...) prior to
allowing
you to fly them.

The school system here had a cow when Margy wanted to announce the YE
events
at her school.


Years ago our chapter decided not to fly Boy Scouts as a scout function
because of their rules. We tried to work with the local council and did
not win. We will fly scouts and for merit badges, but they come as
individuals out of uniform. BTW the $1M is covered by national EAA if
the pilot/owner has the mininum insurance.
