Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates and Information for Members
Updated 6/9/2021
Girl
Scouts Together (updated 6-9-21) is your
one-stop-shop for all of the information you need on GSOSW's
reopening plans, the resumption of in-person Girl Scout activities,
and resources for continuing successful virtual Girl Scout meetings
during the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, Girl
Scouts Together is
primarily composed of GSOSW’s
In-Person Troop/Group Meeting Guidelines (Pages
6-20), along with a few other helpful tools and resources. The guide
is updated and enhanced regularly (generally once every two weeks)
as new tools are developed, information changes, or member needs are
identified. The most up-to-date version will always be available on
this page.
Girl Scouts of Oregon and
Southwest Washington (GSOSW) staff will notify service units and
troops directly if and when a county in their service unit is
approved by GSOSW to resume in-person Girl Scout meetings and
activities, or if a change in status and eligibility occurs.
Approval is determined based on regional health authority metrics
for disease spread risk for Oregon and Washington, and each
county/region is evaluated on an individual basis. Please note that
individual service units or troops/groups may serve members in
multiple counties, which means they may need to accommodate members
with different statuses and participation needs.
GSOSW will continue to monitor the most current health authority
metrics for Oregon and Washington and maintain a list of
counties eligible for GSOSW approval, updated on a weekly basis
on this page. This
list does not serve as approval to begin meeting
, but rather
indicates eligibility. GSOSW staff
will directly notify service units and troops of county approval and
guide them through the reopening process, where applicable.
We encourage you to review
Girl Scouts Together with
your family and Girl Scout troop to understand GSOSW’s guidelines and
determine your family’s and troop’s preferences. It is important to
note that no troop/group or individual is required to meet in
person.
Thank you for your continued resilience and
flexibility in the face of challenge and change! We are grateful for
your partnership.
