2022 Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri COVID-19 Protocol

Camp Protocol

Any units not listed above remain at their original capacities, not to exceed 20 individuals to match the current maximum number of individuals permitted indoors at small gatherings, with the exception of tent units, which are considered “outdoors” and may not exceed 30 individuals to match the current number permitted to gather in a group outdoors. Current capacities for all units are listed in Doubleknot. Please call the Answer Center if you have any questions about current unit capacities. If a troop finds it necessary to utilize additional units in order to meet the GSEM COVID-19 Response Guidelines for troop/ group size, and the reservation of an additional unit presents a financial burden, that troop/group may contact the Answer Center to reserve additional unit(s) at no extra cost (when available). If a troop/group is able to or desires to pay for the cost of the additional unit(s) needed, we welcome that to help offset the expense of having the extra unit(s) occupied. Additional unit(s) may be reserved by those with an existing reservation or those who schedule a facility reservation during the time in which the COVID-19 Response Guidelines are in place. Additional units at no extra cost can be reserved when available and if it falls under the original intent of the facility/unit reservation (i.e. your group should bring the number of campers originally projected for which you needed to split the group to meet guidelines). Each unit must meet the proper girl-to-adult ratio, and, unless in shared units, must have a Certified Troop Camper. Common use areas and activities will be scheduled for troop/group use and troops/groups will be provided with the schedule prior to arrival at camp. A troop/group is expected to stay together when at camp and limit contact with other troops/groups at camp. Each troop/group must use their assigned unit, including sleeping structures, kitchen shelter and assigned ET/latrine. Troops/groups should not visit other units. Troops/groups should only use common areas or common activity areas during their scheduled time. Troops/groups will be assigned a time for use of the troop/group side of the shower house, use of common activity areas such as gaga pit and human foosball and use of common areas such as the Anheuser Busch Nature Center, Tuck Hall, etc. A troop/group will have exclusive use of those areas during their assigned time and should not use those areas at other times not assigned to them. Common areas that also serve as emergency shelter during severe weather may need to be used by any campers during an emergency.
