Safety Standards
The Safety Standards outline the core expectations for adult supervision, transportation and adventure planning, and health, well‑being, and emergency preparedness that apply to all Girl Scout activities. These guidelines provide the essential framework adults need to create safe, inclusive, and well‑prepared experiences before diving into activity‑specific requirements.
