Safety

Internet safety:  I will not be posting our school name, the names of the girls, or any sensitive data (addresses, etc) on this blog.  Photos of the girls will only be allowed if there is a signed waiver from the parent.  If we choose to share photos from activities with our girls, I will set up a group page on a photo website (like shutterfly) with a log-in/password so that only parents have access. 

Meeting/pick-up safety:  I will keep a list of people authorized to pick up your child from the meeting.  Your child will only be allowed to leave the meeting with people on that list, and I will require that you show ID until I am familiar with everyone.  I will have specific procedures for you at the parent meeting.

Meeting location safety:  Since the girls are young, if we are holding our meetings in the school (or some other location besides a home), girls going to the restroom will ALWAYS be escorted by one of the two leaders in the room (always a female).  I do not want the girls wandering the halls by themselves at any time.

Transportation: to be added
Number of adults required at troop events/meetings: to be added
