At Girl Scouts, our motto is “be prepared.” The COVID-19 (aka coronavirus) protocols at our council are changing rapidly in response to available information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), school districts, and other partners. As Girl Scouts, we have an obligation to our community to do all that we can to limit the spread of coronavirus, even if we as individuals are not at risk of serious illness. See how we are responding to these changing circumstances below.

Returning to In-Person Activities (updated July 31, 2020)

On June 12, 2020, California entered Stage 3 of the Pandemic Resilience Roadmap. Based on those guidelines, GSGLA has developed a tentative plan for the return to in-person activities. View our Returning to In-Person Activities document. 

Big News! Girl Scouts at Home Virtual Programs

We know it can be hard for girls to be without their friends and to navigate the challenges of online learning. Fortunately, councils from around the world are coming up with ways to help by offering innovative (and fun!) alternatives to in-person programs on GSUSA's Girl Scouts at Home web page. Take a look and explore by topic or by grade level. And be sure to share this resource with friends—Girl Scouts and non-Girl Scouts alike!

In addition to GSUSA's Girl Scouts at Home website, check out GSGLA's web page for even more information on how girls, their families and troop leaders can continue to participate in Girl Scouting at home or virtually until we are able to meet again in person.
