Girl safety is paramount to Girl Scouts of Alaska. There is no flexibility or tolerance for compromise when girl safety is at issue.

The Essential Eight - Always need to be followed without exception: 

1. Parent permission slips for any time away from the regular meeting place.
2. Two adults always.
3. Every troop member is a registered Girl Scout.
4. First aid kit always, first aider trips of a day or more or if activity involves risk.
5. Use the buddy system – teach girls to go in pairs
6. Everyone has a seat belt or booster seat for children 8 and under and uses it when traveling.
7. PFDs (lifejackets) when boating/lifeguards when swimming
8. Adult to girl supervision ratio – follow Safety-Wise guidelines
