"Appropriate precautions" may include: ankle shackles to keep everyone in their assigned seats, blindfolds, heavy sedation, muzzles, forcing everyone to listen to Anne Murray recordings, and confiscation of all lemon jello (don't ask).

Realistically, go with gender-based sectioning of the bus during the sleep periods, PG-rated movies or even PG-13 movies (if the parents are OK with it), and enough planned stops to let everyone stretch their legs and avoid cabin fever, and you should be fine. Finding enough G-rated movies that are reasonable and entertaining for that long may be tough - remember, you have to watch them too (after all, how many times can you watch "Barney Goes To Camp"?)! For those that will have iPods, GameBoys, or laptop computers (OK, who doesn't?), batteries will be an issue. A while back, Team 180 posted a great idea - wire up a few robot batteries to an inverter and use them to provide power to all the electronic toys on the bus. Tytus did something similar to power his X-box. Definitely something to think about!

There is nothing they can do on a bus that they can't do when they are free in the WGCC.
