In-Person Interim COVID-19 Guidance for Volunteers
Effective October 1, 2022
To All Our Members, Parents/Caregivers and Volunteers,
As we continue to navigate our way through this public health
crisis, we first want to thank you all for the support and cooperation
you have shown us as we strive to do what is best for our girls.
Girl Scouts of Nassau County is committed to the safety and
well-being of our girls, volunteers and staff. In the wake of
Covid-19, we are continuing to take precautions and appropriate
measures to ensure that girls and volunteers have a safe and one-of a
kind experience at Girl Scouts. We will monitor all Federal, New York
State and Nassau County Health Department requirements and
regulations. Future changes to these guidelines will take place based
on a change in the Covid-19 Community Levels; Nassau County’s level
in currently at Medium.
Our staff will continue to work on a hybrid schedule. We’re here to
help answer any questions or concerns you may have and to find
reasonable solutions to help you deliver the Girl Scout Leadership
Experience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for support! Call
516-741-2550 or email customercare@gsnc.org.
GSNC remains a mask friendly environment; please continue to be a
sister to every Girl Scouts and respect others’ decisions. Those who
feel more comfortable wearing a mask should wear a mask.
Anyone with symptoms or a positive test result should not
participate in any Girl Scout activities. Anyone with known exposure
to Covid-19 is required to wear a mask and should consider not participating.
Meetings in private homes, backyards, and front yards are
prohibited. No meetings conducting GSNC official business (troop
meetings, service team or leader meetings) should be held in private
households because of the risks it poses to those in the
household.
International travel will once again be
permitted in 2023. Be sure to review GSUSA
Safety Activity Checkpoints to learn what is required to do
so.
Please be sure to review the complete updated Covid-19 Guidance for
Volunteers found below.

Nassau County in-person program or event including troop camping at
Camp Blue Bay that are cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to change as infection rates
rise and fall in different areas. There may be regional differences or
developments since this guidance was published. Continue to follow
local and national directives.
Exposure to COVID-19 is
an inherent risk; any interaction with the general public poses an
elevated risk of being exposed to COVD-19. Please note that the CDC
advises that older adults and people of any age who have serious
underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe
illness from COVID-19. Each family should evaluate and assess their
risk in determining whether or not to participate in in-person Girl
Scout activities.

clarification regarding this guidance please email customercare@gsnc.org.
