The emotional and physical safety and well-being of Girl Scouts is our top priority.
Safety Activity Checkpoints outline the Safety Standards and Guidelines used in Girl Scouting, which apply to all Girl Scout activities.
When preparing for any activity with girls, always begin with the Safety Activity Checkpoints (SACs) written specifically for that particular activity.
If SACs do not exist for an activity you and your Girl Scouts are interested in, check with us before making definite plans.
