Universal Permission Form - Procedure

A new universal Annual Permission form has been released and is to be used beginning this year—Sept 2007.

Go to the following website for a copy that may be downloaded and printed.      http://www.girlscoutsofscc.org/pdf/volunteers/annual_permission.pdf

1) One form now covers:  trips, product sales participation, photo release,  emergency medical treatment, and health release.

2) Every girl in a troop needs to fill one out and return it to the leader who keeps the packet with her for use during year.  Forms should be shredded at end of year.

3) Leader is to make a photo copy of each troop members form (an emergency copy to be kept with SU files); clip together; give packet to School Coordinator.

4) School Coordinator gives to Leader Support Manager to keep with SU 1 files at the next Leader Meeting.   

5) It is still important  to create for each event a separate Event Permission Form for each girl that names and explains the activity, where held, cost,  depart time, return time,  telephone number of lead chaperone during event, and parent emergency contact number for that date.

6) Both forms should accompany the event.

helpful hint to leaders:  place the universal Annual Permission form for each girl in a transparent sleeve for use during the year; you can then place the completed event permission form in the sleeve for that event and then you have everything you need for each girl for that event!
