Here are some examples:
If you’re meeting with 17 Daisies, you’ll need three adults, at least two of whom are unrelated (in other words,
you and someone who is not your sister, spouse, parent, or child), and at least one of whom is female. (If this
isn’t making sense to you, follow the chart: you need two adults for 12 Daisies and one more adult for up to six
more girls. You have 17, so you need three adults.)
If, however, you have 17 Cadettes attending a group meeting, you need only two unrelated adults, at least one of
which is female (because, on the chart, two adults can manage up to 25 Cadettes).
In addition to the adult-to-girl ratios, please remember that adult volunteers must be at least 18 years old or at
the age of majority defined by the state, if it is older than 18.

How parents decide to transport girls between their homes and Girl Scout meeting places is each parent’s
individual decision and responsibility.
