When preparing for any activity with girls, always begin with the Safety Activity Checkpoints (SACs) written specifically for that particular activity.
Safety Activity Checkpoints provides the standard safety guidelines for Girl Scouts of the USA and council approved activities. In addition to providing volunteers with safety guidelines to ensure the physical and emotional safety of girls, information is also included throughout SACs to ensure equity, diversity, and inclusive thinking when planning Girl Scout activities so all girls with a desire to participate are included.
Enhance your troop’s visit with a variety of outdoor experiences available for self-guided use. Girl Scout members are welcome to reserve activities provided they have the required training and adhere to Safety Activity Checkpoints. Buildings and activities must be reserved separately; reserving a building does not include or guarantee access to activities or facilitators. Additionally, activities and buildings must be reserved at the same time.
