Safety Activity Checkpoints
Safety guidelines for Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA) and Council approved activities.
GSUSA—including local councils, USA Girl Scouts Overseas (USAGSO), and others operating under the Girl Scout name—are responsible for ensuring that all activities are planned and executed in a way that prioritizes the health, safety, and general well-being of all participants, in line with these standard safety guidelines.
Safety Activity Checkpoints (SAC) offers a framework to evaluate and manage safety during Girl Scout activities. They guide your planning, help ensure that you feel confident and prepared, and highlight the rules and standards Girl Scouts expects you to follow.
