GSHCC considers the safety of our girls, volunteers and staff at all times. By providing risk management guidelines such as Safety Activity Checkpoints (SAC) and Volunteer Essentials, GSHCC ensures the safety of everyone involved is clearly defined and communicated. SAC is a resource that provides safety standards and guidelines for GSUSA approved activities. The 2018 edition of the SAC has been reformatted, edited and expanded to better serve our service units and troops.
