Approaching Activities
How can you , as a Girl Scout volunteer , determine whether an activity is safe and appropriate for Girl Scouts ? Good judgment and common sense often dictate the answer . What ’ s safe in one circumstance may not be safe in another . An incoming storm , for example , might force you to assess or discontinue an activity . If you are uncertain about the safety of an activity , call your council staff with full details and don ’ t proceed without approval . Remember , the safety of girls is your most important consideration .
Prior to any activity , read the specific Safety Activity Checkpoints ( available on your council ’ s website or from your support team in some other format ) related to any activity you plan to do with girls . If Safety Activity Checkpoints do not exist for an activity you and the girls are interested in , check with your council before making any definite plans with the girls . A few activities are allowed only with written council pre-approval and only for girls 12 and over , while some are off-limits completely :
Caution : You must get written pre-approval from your council for girls ages 12 and older who will :
� use firearms for target shooting ( see Sport Shooting Safety Activity Checkpoints ); � take trips on waterways that are highly changeable or uncontrollable ( See Whitewater
Rafting Safety Activity Checkpoints ); or
� experience simulated skydiving and zero-gravity rooms ( see Indoor Skydiving Safety Activity Checkpoints ).
Warning : The following activities are NOT permitted : � potentially uncontrolled free-falling ( bungee jumping , hang gliding , parachuting , parasailing , skydiving , moon bounce / bounce house and outdoor trampolining ); � creating extreme variations of approved activities ( such as high-altitude climbing and aerial tricks on bicycles , skis , snowboards , skateboards , water-skis and wakeboards ); � hunting ; � shooting a projectile at another person , such as paintball ; � activities involving motorized vehicles , such as Jet Skis , Go-carts , all-terrain vehicles and motor bikes ;
