Adult Supervision
Adults are required for this program. Adults must be registered members with a background check to attend. Groups are required to be in ratio as outlined in the safety activities checkpoints. Adults supervise their own Girl Scouts during the event.
Arriving Late/Leaving Early
It’s crucial that all participants stay in the mall for the duration of the event. If a participant may be arriving late, they need to arrive before 10:15 p.m. A troop leader needs to meet the participant at the door to sign them in. Notify program@gsoh.org if you know a participant who is arriving late. In case of illness or emergency, participants can leave with the help of mall security after they have signed out.
Exiting the Mall
Polaris Fashion Place conducts a sweep of the mall after it closes to be sure only registered participants are in the mall. Volunteers are posted at each entrance to the mall for the duration of the event. This ensures groups stay together and that no one enters the mall who is not permitted to be there. If you need to leave the mall, please talk to the staff member who is at the main entrance.
Mall Staff
Mall staff are working during the event including store employees and security. Note that they have are not background checked by Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland.
First Aid
A first aid certified adult is available at the first aid table. Locate the first aid table at the start of the event and visit it when needed.
