Safety Activity Checkpoints
When preparing for any activity with girls, always begin with the
Safety Activity Checkpoints (SACs) written specifically for that
particular activity, as well as the Introduction. In the Introduction
you will find specific information for the checkpoints that are common
to all activities (e.g. Communicate with council and parents), as well
as an overview of the format for all SACs. Additional information can
also be found in the Girl Scout Safety Guidelines (a copy of which is
included at the end of this Introduction).
Note: In addition to reading these checkpoints yourself,
you can also e-mail to or print them for girls, co-volunteers and parents/guardians.
