Working Together to Keep Our Girl Scout Community Safe
Updated: February 26, 2021
Since our Council spans many jurisdictions with ever-changing COVID-related decisions, the Council adopted a stepped approach to guide a safe transition to in-person gatherings. The Council is currently at Step II:
- Members of the troop and/or service unit must agree and adhere to COVID-19 Safety Precautions.
- Maximum of 50 people at an in-person indoor gathering.
- Maximum 75 people at an in-person outdoor gathering.
- Girl members should be in activity groups of no more than 15 total people (13 girls, 2 adults).
- Girls remain in the same activity group for the duration of the event.
- Members traveling outside of the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, or West Virginia must self-quarantine for 14-days before attending an in-person Girl Scout gathering.
If a state or local government guidelines are more restrictive than the Council guidelines, members are expected to adhere to the government guidelines.
