Guidelines and Procedures for Males Camping with Girl Scouts
Males are often involved in the leadership of a Girl Scout troop. It is not uncommon for a man to be an Assistant Leader, a First Aider or the Troop Camper. Often a male registered adult will accompany a troop on a trip or campout. Common sense and prior planning will make the trip or campout with a male troop adult a positive experience. Follow these simple guidelines and enjoy your trip or campout.
Make sure you reserve a separate facility for the male. It is not appropriate for men to sleep in the same facility or use the same bathroom facilities with females on a Girl Scout outing. Camping facilities with separate male and female sleeping units and bathrooms are required for trip approval. If a male is coming with the troop to Sandy Ridge, please contact the Camp Director at 843-479-6814 to discuss facility options. Males accompanying troops on overnight trips cannot be counted as part of the girl/adult ratio, per Safety Activity Checkpoints.
Male rooms are located in Whispering Pines Shelter House. These rooms sleep 4 persons each and are $15 per night. These rooms are provided with own bathroom and showers.
