• Have you ever noticed that girls seem to be everywhere all the time? This means
that even when you think you are alone with friends, girls may be around.
Remember that subjects of boyfriends/girlfriends, parties, etc. are not for girls to
hear.
• It‘s okay to get involved, get excited, and be enthusiastic, but make sure you are
still in control of yourself and the group. If you get too crazy, so will the girls, and
then someone might get hurt.
• Never argue or criticize anyone in front of the kids. If you are feeling emotional,
angry, or upset, ask someone to fill in for you while you go to calm down.
• At Girl Scout events you should dress modestly and appropriately for the occasion.
This means appropriate length shorts (too-short shorts are never appropriate),
short or tight dress, halter or crop tops, bikini bathing suits, low-cut shorts,
underwear showing, or anything that is see-through or too revealing.
• Remember basic safety rules. Always wear closed-toe shoes and the appropriate
clothing for the event. If the girls are required to wear special clothing for the event
(long pants, boots, helmets, etc.) then you are expected to wear it too!
• Look at what your clothes might say or look like. You may find some slogans
humorous or funny, but the parents of the girls may not. Never wear anything that
promotes alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances.
• Be careful about symbols or attire that promotes a certain lifestyle or anything
personal in nature, like politics or religion. Small religious symbols (like a cross or
Star of David) are acceptable.
