Safety first, concerning COVID-19

Safety First!

The health and safety of our Girl Scout families is our top priority. Please refer to the recommendations of our county, state, and other governmental institutions when making choices regarding safety. Visit our website often for cookie program updates.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, always

• Wear a mask over your nose and mouth. • Maintain social distance of six feet or more • Place signs reminding girls and customers to maintain distances, and remind them verbally. • Before, after, and during use, disinfect all high-touch surfaces (tables, handles, displays, wagons, money boxes) and any other shared equipment. Avoid using cloth or other table covers that are hard to clean at the site. • Follow sanitation and hand-washing requirements, including washing hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Girls must avoid in-person participation if:

• They or their families have been exhibiting signs of illness, such as fever, coughing, or sneezing;

• They or anyone in their households have been exposed to COVID-19 within the previous two weeks; or

• They or someone in their households have been diagnosed with

COVID-19 and have not yet been cleared as non-contagious. If anyone involved tests positive for COVID-19 after in-person participation, immediately notify us at accidentreporting@sdgirlscouts.org or 619-298-8391.

In order to protect health, safety, and privacy, our staff will manage communications. For additional guidance, visit our Staying Connected website. Information for hosting in-person activities can be found under the drop-down menu COVID-19 Guidance for Volunteer-led Activities.
