Young Eagles COVID-19 Waiver: Optional Or Required ?

Is the Young Eagles COVID-19 Waiver a required or optional part of the Young Eagles flight paperwork?

The form is available on the website (see link above), and I did have parents review and sign along with the normal YE waiver on a flight this past weekend ... but its unclear if this is required or at the pilot's discretion. Any thoughts?

Thanks -

I received a note from Christopher Gauger (EAA Chapter Field Representative) and wanted to share his response:

The Young Eagles COVID-19 waiver is optional. It can be used at the chapter’s or pilot’s discretion.
