COVID-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a piece of our everyday lives, the Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona have revised their guidelines.
As of August 2022, masks are no longer mandatory while participating in Girl Scout activities. Masks will always be welcome and at no time should any member be discouraged from wearing a mask if they choose to do so. At this time, Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona staff will continue to wear a mask while indoors and providing programs to our youth.

For Troop Overnights
In addition to the guidance from the CDC, Arizona’s Governor's Office, the Department of Health Services, and the different county guidelines, GSUSA has provided all Councils with a set of guiding principles to aid in our decision-making process. These are:
- Do no harm—The safety, health, and well-being of staff, volunteers, and girls must remain our first and highest priority.
- An abundance of caution—When in doubt, choose the safest possible approach.
- What would you do?—If given a choice, would you seek to return to an on-site setting? Would you feel safe in your office environment? Would you put your daughter there?
- Follow MOST restrictive guidance—Councils review all relevant federal, state, and local orders and public health officials to ensure that operations comply with the most restrictive rules in each jurisdiction.
- Face Coverings—Girl Scouts wear face coverings (masks) not only to protect themselves but to protect others. Face coverings are a civic responsibility and a sign of caring for the community.
Our council is closely monitoring the COVID-19 updates from the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, the local public health departments, and all of the counties and cities within our Council boundaries. Girl Scout events are aligning with schools, and we are paying attention to local public health guidance.
