This form obtains parent/caregiver permission for all troop meetings, events, and activities for the Girl Scout
year, excluding extended-day trips (8+ hours), overnights, and/or high-risk activity as defined by Safety
Activity Checkpoints. Troop leaders agree to inform parents and the service unit manager, in print or
electronically, when an activity is away from the normal meeting site(s). With the use of this form, additional
permission forms are not required for troop events or activities, unless requested by the vendor or event planner,

version of this form should be retained by the troop leader for five years.
COVID-19 is an extremely contagious virus that spreads easily through person-to-person contact. As with any
social activity, participation in Girl Scouts could present the risk of contracting COVID-19. While GSGLA takes
every safety and preventative precaution, GSGLA can in no way warrant that COVID-19 infection will not occur
through participation in GSGLA programs.
