There are four forms girls must have at every Girl Scout meeting or event:

• Annual Permission – Gives permission for a girl to participate in various Girl Scout activities.
• Permission to Release – States who is allowed to take a girl from a meeting or event.
• Medical History – Given to emergency medical personnel in the event of an emergency.
• Medication Permission – States what medicines troop leaders and other first-aiders are allowed to give a girl.

You will find copies of the Four Annual Forms here: https://www.girlscoutsccc.org/en/members/for-volunteers/forms-and-documents.html

• Every girl must have a copy of these forms at every Girl Scout meeting or event.
• Parents should keep a copy for those times when their daughter attends an event without her troop.

Tips for Leaders:

• Put each girl’s forms in a separate envelope. Write her name on the outside and add a photo of the girl. Make a set of envelopes for each leader in the troop plus at least one extra.
• When traveling, each girl’s forms must be in each vehicle.
• A set should be kept with the troop’s “at home” emergency contact as well.
• At the end of the Girl Scout year, be sure to shred the old forms as you replace them with new copies.

NOTE: PAPER copies are needed. Storing them electronically (via Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) is NOT ALLOWED as the sole means of storage as not every place has reliable internet access and batteries do die.
