Updated Tuesday, July 5, 2022
New Integrated COVID-19 Prevention Protocols, effective April, 2022:
Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas (GSSWT) remains committed to keeping
members of our council safe and healthy as we resume operations.
Effective immediately, GSSWT is introducing new levels of COVID-19
prevention protocols based on the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s (CDC) tracking of COVID-19 Community Levels of risk.
Please note: These protocols will vary based on a member’s
county of residence/the county in which a Girl Scout activity is
taking place. If there is a difference between the two, prevention
protocols will be based on the county with the highest level of risk.
Regardless of a county’s community level of risk, individuals who
feel ill or demonstrate any of the common symptoms of COVID-19 should
stay home and all Girl Scouts are always encouraged to practice good
hand hygiene, minimize the use of shared materials, and take
precautions when eating snacks or meals.
Determine your county’s COVID-19 Community Level of risk:
- Visit the CDC’s COVID Data Tracker webpage.
- Select Texas in the State or territory
drop-down.
- Select your county from the County or metro
area drop-down.
- The webpage will update to include
information about your selected county, and COVID-19 Community Level
of risk is indicated below.
