Safety Award (Junior)

The Girl Scout Junior Safety Award is rewarded to Girl Scout Juniors in Girl Scouts of the USA.

5 Steps must be completed to earn the Junior Safety Award

 * 1) 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.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) Find out how to read weather signs so you know when to head indoors and get to safety.
 * 4) Learn about bicycle safety. Research why bike helmets are important and how to check if a helmet fits you properly.
 * 5) Go on a hazard-identification walk along a local hiking trail, bike trail, or horse trail.
