Girl Scouts of Central Indiana COVID Guidelines
Updated March 3, 2022
The safety of our girls, families, volunteers and staff is, and always has been, our primary concern.
Girl Scouts of Central Indiana does not require its members to be vaccinated against COVID-19. However, the council encourages members to educate themselves about the vaccine and become vaccinated, if possible.
No participant can be excluded or segregated from an activity based on vaccination status.
We continue to monitor and consult guidelines primarily from:
Guidelines for Girl Scout Activities
Girl Scouts of Central Indiana recommends that Girl Scout troops and service units follow CDC guidelines for recreational activities.
· If the venue where you are holding a Girl Scout activity has additional COVID-19 guidelines, we ask that you follow those.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms, a positive COVID-19 test, or suspect you’ve been in contact with someone with COVID-19, please follow the CDC guidelines for quarantine and isolation and follow these contact tracing guidelines provided by the CDC.
