Coronavirus - Steps to take to combat the spread in the Green Mountain Council

3/10/2020

Green Mountain Council staff values the health and comfort of everyone in our Scouting family.  As we learn more about the novel coronavirus, (which causes COVID-19), we wanted to remind everyone about some basic hygiene and common-sense steps to take to help protect you and those around you. 
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick
  • Cover you cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
  • Stay home when you are sick and seek medical care.
These are the basics you and others, whether part of your Scouting unit, household, or place of employment, can do to help stop the spread of this virus.  We encourage you to share with the Scouts you come in contact with as a teaching moment in basic hygiene and healthy living.
The programs and activities, including our summer camps, will continue as scheduled, and if we all do our part to follow the above-mentioned steps, anticipate no short or long-term effects from this sickness. 
We hope you stay safe and healthy as we navigate our way through this virus outbreak and look forward to a healthy and enjoyable spring and summer camping season.

With the added confirmed cases and the information that schools and conferences are closing, does the Council still plan on Scouting university activities taking place this Saturday?

With the closing of school and other facilities, many are impacted financially as they are unable to work. Are you revising your payment plans for camp to make this situation easier?
