Providing life skills, safety skills, and child care training in order to build safer communities.
As Girl Scouts reach their Junior level, they have opportunities to experience new things, including activities that foster independence.
The Girl Scout Independence Badge is ideal for Juniors that want to learn to how to take care of themselves. They will learn about safe transportation and develop safe habits when inside, outside, online, or with friends and family.
The final step in earning the badge involves practicing independence, with a suggested activity of staying home alone.
Staying home alone can be both exciting and intimidating for Juniors. By adding a Safe@Home by Safe Sitter® training session, you can prepare your Juniors to stay home alone with confidence while helping them check off the last requirement for the Independence Badge.
Safe@Home reinforces the lessons Juniors learn about safe transportation while teaching essential safety skills for being indoors, outdoors, online, and with others. They will also learn how to respond in emergencies like power outages or severe weather, and what to do if they get hurt or sick.
As a Troop Leader, you can easily lead your Juniors through the training program during a troop meeting using the included Facilitator’s Guide. You also will receive a digital presentation that enhances the training experience. Each Junior will need a student booklet, available for only $15.00 per booklet, and you can order a Safe@Home badge for each girl to add to her vest or sash.
Order materials for your troop through our online order form. If you have any questions about Safe@Home or other programs by Safe Sitter, Inc., email safesitter@safesitter.org.
