What is the purpose of the camp board’s rules about body-piercings and  tattoos?

Because these standards are new this year (2005), a explanation is offered so everyone will understand the board’s purpose, and so that all will understand these purposes alike.

• YBC Mission---To provide a place for the enhancement and development of stronger faith in our Lord.
• Body-piercings and offensive tattoos --- Depending upon their nature, the displaying of body-piercings and tattoos can be a distraction and provide a negative dynamic for the spiritual edification of campers, thus violating the camp's intended purpose of spiritual enhancement and growth."
