Insurance Overview
Girl Scouts' coverage is intended to help with out-of-pocket medical expenses that may not be covered by personal insurance.
Girl Scouts provides Activity Accident Insurance* to support Girl Scouts participating in Girl Scout-approved and supervised activities and events.
Activity Accident 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.
This 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 personally 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. A summary of these coverage types for each category is provided below.
Activity Accident Insurance is underwritten by Mutual of Omaha.
