COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
Safety is our number one priority at GSWW and Camp Madrona. We are following these GSWW and CDC approved guidelines to ensure the safest camp experience possible for our members. Please note that we may change our guidelines as state and federal guidelines may shift over time.
- Are you "Girl Scout Ready?"
- Vaccinations: We are requiring all volunteer staff to be fully vaccinated and requiring all campers to either be fully vaccinated or quarantine for 72 hours prior to arrival at camp and receive a negative COVID-19 test from a qualified provider no more than 72 hours prior to arrival at camp.
- Daily Cleaning: We are following daily cleaning procedures and health checks for all staff and campers.
- Safe Spaces and Activities: We are modifying group interacting procedures and dining hall protocol. This includes sleeping space, meals outside or with cabin-mates, no more than two girls to a boat, and more. We are following current guidance on masks and social distancing.
Vaccination Policy from GSWW
We have recently revised our immunization policy to reflect the Washington State and CDC policy on immunizations/vaccinations. Girl Scouts of Western Washington supports science-based vaccinations to prevent the spread of communicable illness and to improve the health of our community. Campers attending Volunteer-Led Overnight camps must follow the Washington State immunization/vaccination requirements for summer camps.

Girl Scouts of Western Washington (GSWW) is committed to taking precautions to mitigate health risks as well as following applicable federal, local, and GSUSA COVID-19 directives and guidelines. Our council is also committed to having in-person activities as allowed and in accordance with those mandates. GSWW’s operations and programs occurring while COVID is circulating in our community may expose our members, volunteers, and employees to the risk of infection. GSWW cannot prevent you from being exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while attending (which includes being present in any capacity) any GSWW in-person programming. Therefore, any interaction with others in connection with in-person programming may expose you and your family to, and increase your risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19. GSWW has put preventative measures in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19 at its in-person programming; however, GSWW cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19.
