Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability – Coronavirus/COVID-19
*Girl’s Name *Troop # *Community
(as she is registered)
I am aware of the highly contagious nature of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as well as the symptoms,
illnesses, and effects it causes. I am also aware that by participating in any Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (“GSSJC”)
activity, I, my daughter, my family, our household members, and those with whom we come into contact could experience
exposure to or infection of COVID-19 as well as its serious effects, which include illness, injury, permanent disability,
and death. I acknowledge that this risk may result from or be compounded by the acts or omissions of others, including
GSSJC employees and volunteers. I understand that while the GSSJC has implemented preventative measures to reduce
the spread of COVID-19, GSSJC cannot guarantee that I, my daughter, my family members, my household members, or
those people with whom we come into contact will not become infected with COVID-19 as a result of participating in
GSSJC activities or while on GSSJC premises.
I am familiar with federal, state, and local laws, orders, directives, and guidelines related to COVID-19, including the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) guidance. I will comply with and will ensure my daughter’s
compliance with all such orders, directives, and guidelines while participating in GSSJC activities and while on GSSJC
premises. I further agree that while participating in GSSJC activities and while on GSSJC premises, I and my daughter are
required to follow all GSSJC guidelines, including all COVID-19 instructions, that have been provided to me, whether in
an agreement at the activity or on GSSJC’s COVID-19 webpages. I further understand that any violation of these
guidelines or staff directions may result in me and/or my daughter being asked to immediately cease participation in the
activity with no refund.
I agree that my daughter and I will not participate in any GSSJC activity or come on GSSJC premises if we are
experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 (such as cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, or new
loss of taste or smell); have a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19; or have had close contact in the last 14 days
with a person who has been confirmed or suspected of having COVID-19. In the event that I and/or my daughter
receive(s) a positive antigen test result for COVID-19 in the next 14 days, I will immediately notify GSSJC by contacting
Melissa Hardy at mhardy@sjgs.org, and I, my daughter, and others members of our household will also refrain from
participating in any in-person GSSJC meetings or activities for at least 14 days after a positive antigen test date, even if
we are asymptomatic.
In consideration of being permitted to participate in GSSJC activities, I, on behalf of myself, my daughter, and any and all
of our beneficiaries, heirs, next of kin, successors, assigns, representatives, and agents, do hereby release, acquit, and
forever discharge Girl Scouts of the USA and GSSJC and each of their respective owners, officers, directors, employees,
agents, contractors, representatives, and volunteers (collectively, “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, causes of action, and damages (collectively, “Claims”) related to or arising out of COVID-19, including, but
not limited to, any and all Claims related to or arising out of any COVID-19-related illness, injury, disability, or death
experienced by myself, my daughter, or any other member of our family or household, regardless of whether such
claims are caused, in whole or in part, by the sole, contributory, or concurrent negligence, strict liability, premises
liability, or other tortious or wrongful conduct of Releasees. Notwithstanding the risks associated with COVID-19, I
hereby accept and assume all risks of any COVID-19-related illness, injury, disability, or death experienced by
myself, my daughter, or any other member of our family or household, regardless of whether such risk is caused,
in whole or in part, by the sole, contributory, or concurrent negligence, strict liability, premises liability, or other
tortious or wrongful conduct of Releasees.
By signing below, I hereby certify that I have read and fully understand all of the terms of this Assumption of Risk
and Release of Liability – Coronavirus/COVID-19 (the “Release”) and that I am voluntarily giving up substantial
legal rights, including the right to sue the Releasees as described above. I am voluntarily, knowingly, and
unconditionally signing this Release and hereby agree to all of the terms and conditions of this Release. I represent and
warrant that I have the full legal authority to sign, and am signing, this Release on behalf of myself and my daughter.
