Troop Travel Announcement
As many of your Junior troops start making their plans for San Francisco bridging in April, please remind them of these very important facts:
Should they need to complete the eform, this is the correct link: https://www. gsglavolunteerapps.org/ extended-travelhigh-risk- application/. If you have any other link book marked on your service unit Shutterfly, google group, etc – please delete it.
If anyone has any questions email us at [email protected]
As always, the success of their trip is important to us, but risk management and girl safety are the first priority.
As many of your Junior troops start making their plans for San Francisco bridging in April, please remind them of these very important facts:
- Domestic Troop Travel training IS REQUIRED – regardless of the duration - in advance of the trip. There are several webinar options and a couple of Face to Face in Long Beach.
- Most of the trips will be only 2 nights and therefore only require a parent permission form signed by a Service Unit Manager or a designee.
- The Extended Travel/High Risk form only needs completed IF they are doing a 3+ night local or regional trip OR any national trip OR are including a high risk activity (as defined in Volunteer Essentials and the Safety Activity Check Points) while on the trip.
- ALL of the adults attending the trip, regardless of the number of nights, with the troop must be registered and cleared volunteers. The process is not overnight. Plan in advance to make sure this is done.

Mid-Year Troop Financials
In keeping with our goal of making it easier for leaders to do business with GSGLA, and based on the feedback we received from the volunteers who completed the Troop Leader Satisfaction survey in the spring, the mid-year financial requirement has been discontinued. Financials will be due once per year on June 15. Our continued goal is to provide you the best support possible so that volunteers can provide the Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls in their troops.
