2022 Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri COVID-19 Protocol

Camp Protocol

Initial and Continued Screening Upon arrival at camp, each parent/caregiver of a camper, or each adult, must answer the COVID-19 screening questions and have their temperature taken. Answers to questions that indicate COVID-19 exposure, history of recent illness or a temperature 100.4° F or greater requires that a camper leave the camp facility immediately. Each camper, adult and minor should have their temperature taken and recorded daily while at a camp facility. Each unit will be provided with a no-touch forehead thermometer and health screening record log. These items will be returned to the camp supervisor upon departure. For Resident Camp, participants will also receive additional information about screening prior to camp and check-in on the opening day of their camp session. For Day Camp, participants will receive additional information about daily check-in and screening processes in an email prior to their camp session. All COVID-19-related documentation, such as (but not limited to) the Participant Screening Tools/Logs, should be securely retained for a minimum of 90 days after the Girl Scout activity for which they were completed. As always, troop leaders should retain annually a copy of the Girl Health History & Annual Permission Form, including the additional COVID-19 Girl Health History Addendum, for every girl in their troop. During resident camps, campers or staff who are staying together in the same living space (tent, cabin or lodge) are considered a “household” or “family.” These campers or staff do not need to wear masks when they are in their living space, or when they are together and distanced from others in their unit. Examples would be sitting at the same table for crafts or for eating, or participating in an activity with those in the “household” or “family.” Masks should still be worn when indoors with others in their unit. Hand Washing All members are expected to wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds prior to meals, prior to and after entering common areas, prior to and after using common equipment, after going to the bathroom, and after blowing nose, coughing, or sneezing. Signs posted around camp will remind campers to wash hands when appropriate. Use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol if soap and water are not available. Use of Gloves Campers must wear gloves when cleaning and serving food at camp. Use of latex free gloves is recommended to protect those with allergies. Masks See Masks, page 6 for current information as of 12.17.2021.
