GSSNE insurance information can be found starting on page 22 of the Policies, Procedures, and Standards (PPS).
If you are hosting a Girl Scout activity at a non-GSSNE property, the managers/owners of that other facility may request a certificate of liability from GSSNE. A certificate of Liability (COL) is written documentation proving GSSNE carries liability insurance. This is important to insurance companies should an injury to individuals or damage to property occur.
Every currently registered Girl Scout of Southeastern New England member (youth and adult) is automatically covered by accident insurance through Mutual of Omaha while participating in sanctioned or approved Girl Scout events and associated travel, regardless of duration, distance, or destination (coverage may be excluded for non-approved or restricted activities).
Effective October 1, 2025, sickness coverage is automatically included in basic Girl Scout insurance for travel. This coverage expansion eliminates the need to purchase additional sickness insurance for travel. This saves troop leaders time and troops money.
Coverage becomes effective upon member registration and payment of the membership fee.
Additionally, individuals who are invited to attend a Girl Scout event on a limited, occasional basis are covered under the same basic accident insurance for the duration of that specific event. Ongoing or repeated participation may require Girl Scout membership.
Note: Adult membership may still be required for roles or activities that require a background screening, such as driving on behalf of Girl Scouts, serving as a chaperone, or participating in overnight activities.
