The safety and support of all of our girls are the top priority. The inclusion of transgender girls is handled at a council level on a case-by-case basis, with all members' welfare and best interests as a top priority. If a girl is recognized by her family, school, and community as a girl and lives culturally as a girl, Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe.
Should any girl requiring special accommodations wish to camp or participate in an overnight activity, GSNWGL will make accommodations regarding changing, sleeping arrangements, and other related activities. All Girl Scouts are entitled to privacy, and we encourage everyone to practice privacy strategies that include access to private changing spaces and times for all individuals when requested. Members can use the facility they choose (men's, women's, or gender-neutral facilities where available).
Concerning volunteers, Girl Scouts welcomes male and female adult volunteers and has developed appropriate safeguards regarding roles and responsibilities to ensure that girls receive the proper supervision and support.
