How We Keep Girl Scouts Safe
Every adult in Girl Scouting is responsible for the physical and emotional safety of girls. When adults and Girl Scouts are together, we all have a responsibility to keep girls safe.
GSCCS has the following practices and policies in place to keep Girl Scouts safe:
Adult Supervision 
Girl/Adult Ratios
Troops must have a minimum of two adult leaders, one of whom must be female. A group must have at least two unrelated, approved adult volunteers present at all times. This includes in-person and virtual meetings. Plus, additional adult volunteers as necessary, depending on the size of the group and the girls' ages and abilities. These girl/adult ratios are based on the grade level of the girls and types of activities they will be doing.
