Girl Scout Promise
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God* and my country,
To help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout Law.
Girl Scout Law
I will do my best to be honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong,
and responsible for what I say and do,
and to respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place,
and be a sister to every Girl Scout.
We expect every camper and staff member at camp to model these behaviors, follow camp rules, and act as a sister to all camp participants. Campers who cannot follow these standards will receive a reminder of expected camp behavior. The camper will then develop a plan for changing their behavior. Behavior consequences are progressive and may include dismissal from camp. Should the negative behavior occur again, the camper will create a behavior modification plan with input from staff and parents/guardians. Should behavior continue after the development of a behavior modification plan, dismissal from camp without a refund is a consequence. Some actions are deemed to have a significant impact and will require immediate dismissal from camp without a refund. Physically and/or verbally abusive/harassing behavior, illegal drugs, marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, and clothing that promotes any of the above compromise our community and are not welcome at camp. Behaviors that are intentionally harmful, such as taunting, spreading rumors, excluding others from groups, endangering the safety of any camper, and verbal or physical aggression toward staff, adults, or campers may result in immediate dismissal from camp.
Please review and sign below:
- We have reviewed the Camp Family Handbook, and accept the policies and procedures outlined within.
- We are prepared to be a sister to every Girl Scout, make an effort to get to know sister Girl Scouts in my unit and at camp, and find ways to be sure every participant is included in activities at camp.
- We have reviewed the Girl Scout Promise and Law, and understand the behavior expectations for Girl Scouts at summer camp, including those behaviors which are taken very seriously, and may cause a camper to need to leave camp.
- We have reviewed how to ask for help and support from camp staff, and when and who to tell if there is a problem. Problems might be getting along with another camper, not feeling well, missing family, or other situations where help or support is needed.
- We have reviewed items which are prohibited at camp (cell phones, electronics, weapons, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and pets) and will ensure none of these come to camp. By signing below, we promise to do our best to live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law at camp.
