For the time zones that participate in Daylight Saving Time (DST - also Daylight Savings Time or Daylight Time) in the United States and Canada, or Summer Time in the United Kingdom, European Union and others, the BSF Online website will reflect the Daylight Saving and Summer Time during the months that it is occurring. Please refer to timeanddate.com for more information and for specifics of when (and if) DST is observed in a given location.
Please keep in mind that the location (time zone) of the Online Leader determines the meeting time of the group. For example, if the Online Leader observes Daylight Saving, the meeting time may change when Daylight Saving stops and starts. The Online Leader will communicate any changes in time as they occur.
