Step Out Beyond a Troop Meeting: Going Places with Girl Scouts
Ready for some adventure? Camping, overnights, and excursions are some of the most memorable experiences in Girl Scouting. Check out the Going Places with Girl Scouts Overview which provides an overview of Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts travel and outdoor progression.
What Approvals Do I Need?
Use our Emergency Action Plan worksheet to help safely plan activities with Girl Scouts, including identifying, mitigating, and responding to emergencies.
For each Girl Scout attending an activity, volunteers should have an Annual Permission Form and an Activity Permission Form.
For the group, a GSEMA Safety Approval Form and/or a Certificate of Liability may be required. Review Safety Activity Checkpoints to see what the requirements are for your planned activities.
What Trainings Do I Need?
Many activities require additional safety or outdoor skills training in order to keep Girl Scouts safe and provide them with the best possible experiences. Details for required and enrichment safety courses are listed below.
