Be Prepared & Use Resources Wisely
- Make sure you are prepared for everything
- There should be a Level 1 First Aider (see Safety-Wise, p. 36-7) and carry a fully-stocked First Aid Kit
- Leaders/co-leaders should have appropriate training
- Make sure you know your girls
- If not, plan a mom/daughter or family outing first and spend time finding out more about them
- Have discussions about how they would handle scenarios that might come up on your trip, including fire safety, getting lost, missing home, finding a mouse/bug, forgetting something, etc.)
- Make sure you have a backup plan
- Just in case - you never know what can happen, plan for the worst case scenario. Your trip might be cancelled due to weather or illness or other diasters, where can you stay instead? When would your re-schedule date be?
