Safety Wise 

Keeping girls safe is a priority in Girl Scouting. In the past, the way we have done so is by consulting the Safety-Wise book when planning outings and activities. This book will no longer be printed and sold. It is being replaced with the Volunteer Essentials online resource and the 2010 Safety Activity Checkpoints. We are pleased to introduce these 45 new checkpoints. They replace the ones that have existed in Safety-Wise for the last several decades.
 
You will no longer have to read introductory material, Universal Checkpoints, checkpoints for the category of the activity (land sports, water sports, and so on), and activity-specific checkpoints -- eight or nine pages of material spread out over several sections. Instead, you can read, search, and print completely self-contained checkpoints, each four pages or less. Just click on the name of the activity you want information on, and off you and your girls go to a safe and fun Girl Scout experience!
