Supervision of Girls
- Adults leading or accompanying a group should be chosen for their patience, flexibility, and good judgment.
- They need to understand their responsibilities during an outing. What are their duties? Which girls are they assigned? Consider an adult Kaper Chart (more on these soon).
- Try to avoid having a girl be supervised directly by her mom on the trip. Both will have a better chance of success.
SUPERVISING ADULTS SHOULD NOT BE:
- Doing a project or task for a girl so that it is "done right"
- Barking orders and yelling at girls
- Sitting with other adults engrossed in conversation while girls participate in an activity
- Only watching your own daughter
- Bad-mouthing girls, the troop or any part of the trip in front of the girls
- Leaving the site after the girls have gone to bed
