Tips for Chaperones and Adult Helpers

Remember, discuss your expectations of the adult volunteers BEFORE your trip.

  • Adults should understand the plans the girls have made for the trip
  • They should understand the safety systems for the trip and the buddy system that the girls have learned




THEIR ROLES:

  • Assist the Leader and girls assigned to them
  • Be an extra pair of eyes and hands for the Leader
  • Interacting with one's own daughter, only, is not helpful to the Leader or the rest of the girls
  • Be responsible for jobs or activities
  • Help teach and lead the girls during their activities
  • Review the kaper charts, both girls' and adults'
  • Have a positive attitude and be considerate of others
  • Laugh and have fun with the girls
