Types of Activity Insurance

Members

Every registered Girl Scout member is automatically covered with basic accident insurance coverage. This coverage:

  • Provides accident protection only for approved, supervised Girl Scout activities, including events lasting two consecutive nights or less.
  • Is included with annual membership dues.
  • Is secondary. The insured party’s family insurance plan is primary. Mutual of Omaha pays the first $130 of an approved claim and will continue (after the family insurance plan has reached its coverage limit) up to a total of $20,000.

Cost: Included in membership
Plan: Basic (1)

Non-Members

Purchase this insurance any time non-member adults or girls are participating in a Girl Scout event or program (like She and Me camping, Thinking Day events, events open to girls’ guests, etc.).

This coverage:

  • Provides accident insurance for non-member participants in approved, supervised activities/events at which registered girls and adults would be covered under the basic plan.
  • Provides accident insurance for activities/events lasting two nights or less.
  • Counts each calendar day. Overnights count as two days, even if less than 24 hours.
  • Is not needed when Girl Scouts participate in public events. For example, it isn’t necessary to obtain coverage when Girl Scouts host a booth at a street fair, you do not have to get coverage for people stopping at the booth.

About tag-alongs: Tag-a-longs (siblings who tag along) are generally not covered, unless program activities are planned for them. For example, coverage is not available for a younger brother who comes along on a troop field trip. But the brother would be eligible for coverage if he were in a “small fry” unit at a day camp where his father volunteers. Tag-a-longs are the responsibility of the parent attending. Any damage/harm caused by the tag-a-long is also the parents' responsibility.

Cost: $0.11 per non-member participant per day; $5 minimum.
Plan: 2

Extended Events

Purchase this insurance when an event is longer than two nights, regardless of whether travel is in or outside of council boundaries. The insurance covers members and non-members. As a result, Plan 2 is not needed when you get Plan 3P.

This coverage provides accident and sickness insurance for approved, supervised activities and events. All participants (registered and non-registered) must be covered.

Cost: $0.70 per participant per day; $5 minimum.
Plan: 3P

International Travel

This coverage provides accident and sickness insurance for approved, supervised, international activities/events lasting more than two nights. There are other benefits, too. Be sure to include a roster of all participants, including their ages at date of travel.

Cost: $1.17 per participant per calendar day or portion thereof; $5 minimum. 
Plan: 3PI

Certificate of Insurance

A certificate of insurance is a document that provides information about insurance coverage. The certificate verifies that a vendor or venue is insured. The document also provides info about coverage limits, the period of coverage, the insurance provider’s name, and the policy number. When working with a vendor or holding a Girl Scout event at a venue, follow the instructions below to ensure that the vendor, venue, or expert holds a valid certificate of insurance.
