girl scouts of the colonial coast
We
know that Girl Scout families and volunteers are concerned about the spread of
COVID-19, and like area schools and community groups serving children, Girl
Scouts of the Colonial Coast is monitoring the situation.
As
always, we will notify members of any programming changes or cancellations of
events. Please check our website for updates.
We’ve
taken some tips from the Center for Disease Control to remind everyone to follow
good hygiene practices and take preventative measures.
What
You Can Do
·
Do
not attend Girl Scout meetings, programs, or events if you are sick.
·
Follow
specific increased hygiene measures at large gatherings hosted by troops or service
units.
·
Replace handshakes/handholding with non-contact
methods of greeting.
·
Clean your meeting place, such as wiping down
door handles or shared resources.
·
Wash your
hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are
not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizer can be used in a pinch.
·
Avoid
touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
·
Do
not cough into your hands and always wash your hands after coughing or sneezing
if you use a tissue
For
those who would like help in talking to girls, Girl Scouts of the USA has
developed a helpful resource for How to Talk to Your Girl
About Coronavirus to help minimize stress and worry in your Girl
Scout’s life.
Thank
you for your help in keeping Girl Scouts a safe, fun space for everyone!
