Due to California legislation, all volunteers attending weekends camps must complete the online child abuse identification and reporting training and a fingerprint-based background check. Please email customercare@girlscoutsoc.org if you have not already completed this process
California Assembly Bill No. 506 requires 1) any administrator,
employee, or regular volunteer (those who volunteer more than 16 hours
in a month or 32 hours in a year) of a California youth service
organization to complete training in identifying and reporting child
abuse and neglect, and 2) require California youth-serving
organizations to include fingerprinting as part of its background
screening.
If you are coming to weekend camp as a parent/guardian and girl pair
and are not supervising girls who are not related to you, you may not
meet the requirement for fingerprinting and Mandated Reporter
training.
