All
registered girls and adults are covered by the
Activity and
Accident Insurance Plan of Girl
Scouts of the U.S.A. The insurance goes into effect when a
member registers as a Girl Scout and pays $12 membership dues.
This insurance is designed to supplement insurance coverage
carried by the family of the Girl Scout member.
The purchase of basic activity
insurance may be required for non-registered individuals who are
participating in Girl Scout activities. To determine if
additional insurance is needed consider whether the
non-registered individual is actually participating in an
activity or is only attending as a spectator. For example, a
parent/guardian of a Girl Scout accompanying her for a swimming
activity needs to purchase accident insurance only if he/she is
actually going to swim. As an observer, no additional insurance
is needed.
Other members of a Girl Scout’s
family – "tag-a-longs" - (brothers, sisters, friends) are
parental responsibilities and should not be insured unless
actually participating in the activity.
Certificate of Insurance
When obtaining a location for a meeting place,
service unit event or troop event, some sites will request a certificate of
insurance. This is just a copy of our council insurance coverage and can be
provided by the Girl Scout office. A Certificate of Insurance can be requested
through the Girl Scout Administrative Office. Please allow two weeks to process
this request.
To obtain a certificate, visit
www.girlscoutsofwesternohio.org to submit online, email to
insurance@girlscoutsofwesternohio.org, or call the Girl Scout Administrative
Office with the following information:
Name of Facility
Physical and mailing address (if different)
Date and type of activity
Facility e-mail address, phone # & fax #
Contact information of person requesting the
certificate.
Certificates of insurance can be mailed out
directly to the location within two weeks of your call.
To request additional insurance
A Request for
Additional Insurance Form must be completed and
submitted to the Administrative office in Cincinnati at least 4 weeks prior to
the event date. This form must be accompanied by a check payable to United of
Omaha for the amount owed for the additional insurance. There is a $5 minimum.
Incomplete forms, forms without checks attached, and checks less than $5.00 will
not be accepted.
