Daisies/Cadettes
In this hands-on safety adventure, Daisies will learn how to stay safe at home, in their neighborhood, and during Girl Scout activities. They’ll practice what to do if they get lost, learn how to respond in emergencies, and understand fire safety basics.
Meanwhile, Cadettes will kick off with advanced safety skills including water rescue techniques, emergency preparedness, and strategies for handling bullying.

Brownies will become safety superheroes as they explore how to stay safe at school, at home, and outdoors. They’ll create their own safety plans, learn how to prepare for natural disasters, and find out how everyday items like smoke alarms help keep us safe.
Seniors will begin with an in-depth session covering self-defense basics, fire and kitchen safety, and how to stay alert behind the wheel (distracted driving awareness). In the second hour, they’ll use their new skills and leadership abilities to assist Brownies with earning their award, reinforcing their own learning while supporting younger Girl Scouts.
Juniors/Ambassadors
Juniors will investigate real-life safety scenarios, from conducting home safety audits to learning bicycle and trail safety. They’ll practice how to evacuate in an emergency and talk through smart ways to prevent accidents during outdoor adventures.
Ambassadors will begin their session exploring personal safety in relationships, internet safety, and mentoring skills. They’ll also organize mini-discussions and role-playing games on safety topics. In the second hour, Ambassadors will step into leadership roles by coaching Juniors through their activities and modeling safe, responsible behavior.
