Tips for Chaperones and Adult Helpers
Remember, discuss your expectations of the adult volunteers BEFORE your trip.
- Adults should understand the plans the girls have made for the trip
- They should understand the safety systems for the trip and the buddy system that the girls have learned
THEIR ROLES:
- Assist the Leader and girls assigned to them
- Be an extra pair of eyes and hands for the Leader
- Interacting with one's own daughter, only, is not helpful to the Leader or the rest of the girls
- Be responsible for jobs or activities
- Help teach and lead the girls during their activities
- Review the kaper charts, both girls' and adults'
- Have a positive attitude and be considerate of others
- Laugh and have fun with the girls
