Bullying Policy:
Girl Scouts of USA has long taken a firm stand against bullying. Area 10 Day Camp is no exception. We want to share our definition of bullying.
Bullying is intentionally aggressive behavior that can take many forms (verbal, physical, social/relational, emotional, or cyber bullying — or any combination of these). It involves an imbalance of power, and is often repeated over a period of time. The bullying can consist of one child bullying another, a group of children ganging up against one lone child, or one group of kids targeting another group.
Common bullying behaviors include put-downs, name calling, rumors, gossip, verbal threats, menacing, harassment, intimidation, social isolation or exclusion, and physical assaults.
According to the Girl Scout Law, we will be sisters to all Girl Scouts.
I will review this information with my child and we understand that if my child does not refrain from bullying she could be sent home from camp for the remainder of the week. No refunds of camp fees will be given.
