Health and Safety Come First: COVID-19 Guidance

Last updated April 6, 2021

At GSHCC, the health and safety of our girls, members, and the community is our number one priority. GSHCC activities must follow all COVID-19 guidance at the federal, state and county levels to safely protect our girls and reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Limits on Gatherings

The California Department of Public Health has issued statewide guidance that limits the number of girls that can participate in an in-person setting. The Council’s Safety Activity Checkpoints also places limits on gatherings. 

Taken together, here are the limits:

• Daisy gatherings must be limited to no more than 12 girls and no more than 4 supervising adults, for a maximum of 16 people.
• All other gatherings must be limited to no more than 14 girls and no more than 2 supervising adults.
• Supervising adults and girls should stay together for all activities and avoid contact with people outside of their group.

Checklists and Guidance

Before meeting in-person, make sure you understand and follow these guidelines, checklists and planning worksheets.

Looking Ahead with Optimism

In anticipation of improvements in community transmission rates, and the potential for re-opening schools in-person, GSHCC stands ready to begin offering in-person programs WHEN it is safe to do so. We are cautiously optimistic about the future and will actively monitor new developments and update our guidance accordingly.
