| Emergency Contact Person |
Essential To Troop Safety
As we begin this new membership year and start to take trips and attend events, let's remember a few steps to help prepare. First make sure you have a person who is willing to be the Emergency Contact Person for each event or trip that your troop takes. This person should be available the entire time your troop is together for the event.
You will need to provide them with a detailed list of every person in attendance and their personal contact information. Make sure your parent permission slip requires this information. As the Troop Leader you should also retain a copy of this list with your Health Forms for each girl and the Parent Permission Slip and carry them with you while you are away. In the event of an emergency the Emergency Contact Person for your troop will relay messages to troop parents - during a time that your focus needs to be with the girls. Having this help will ensure you are better able to handle emergency situations as they arise.
