In response to the suggestion of scout45 about inserting a provision in the by-laws regarding the wearing of PFDs...having composed by-laws for at least three non-profit organizations I can say for a fact that the only person who knows what the by-laws actually say IS the person who wrote them. No one else gives a damn (a sentiment with which I actually concur - by-laws mean nothing in Real Life). It is certainly fine and OK to do that, and probably advisable from a number of perspectives, but the simple fact is that it will be up to a Trip Leader to simply say "wear it, or you don't paddle with us. Period." It IS that simple, that easy. Y'all decide.
