The Girl Scout Junior Safety Award is rewarded to Junior Scouts in Girl Scouts of the USA.
Five steps have to be completed to earn the Junior Safety Award
- Find out what the most common injuries are for kids your age. Make a list of how you can prevent them. Then do a home safety audit to check for dangers around the house.
- Conduct an emergency evacuation drill of your home or the place your Girl Scout group meets. In case of a fire, know where your main exit is located, and plan an alternate way to get out if the first exit is blocked.
- Find out how to read weather signs so you know when to head indoors and get to safety.
- Learn about bicycle safety. Research why bike helmets are important and how to check if a helmet fits you properly.
- Go on a hazard-identification walk along a local hiking trail, bike trail, or horse trail.
