Activity Accident Insurance Update– Effective 10/1/2025
|
This insurance is automatic upon membership registration and applies to all adult and youth members who may become injured during a Girl Scout-approved and supervised activity.
Girl Scouts provides Activity Accident Insurance underwritten by Mutual of Omaha to support Girl Scouts participating in Girl Scout approved and supervised activities and events.
The coverage works like supplemental medical/health coverage and is intended to help with out-of-pocket medical expenses that may not be covered by personal insurance.
Activity Accident insurance extends to non-members who are invited to participate in a Girl Scout approved and supervised activity, whether an adult volunteer for the day, or a friend of a Girl Scout who is joining along to try out Girl Scouting.
Activity Accident coverage applies to day events, overnight trips (including camp), and international travel.
Additional Girl Scouts – Diamonds specific information will be shared in early October. Be on the lookout for updates to our website, forms and more!

Renewal Reminder
|
Reminder! The Girl Scout membership year ends on September 30. This is the time to make sure you have renewed and for troop leaders to check membership rosters. If your troop hasn’t renewed, your troop won’t be able to participate in events or product sales after September 30, 2025. Troops that have not renewed by the September 30 deadline will be disbanded in November.
As a reminder, troop leaders must have a current membership and their Troop Leadership Role current to maintain access to the Volunteer Toolkit and the troop bank account. If you are a Lifetime member, renew any active roles with your troop or service unit each year.

Planning a Troop Trip This Fall? Don’t Forget to Submit Your Travel Application!
|
Just a reminder: any troop trip that is overnight or more than 120 miles one way requires a Travel Application to be submitted to info@girlscoutsdiamonds.org at least 3 weeks prior to the trip.
Please note: Using the troop debit card for unapproved travel or overnight trips is a violation of council policy and may result in further action. Help us ensure safe, fun, and policy-compliant adventures for your girls!
