What does it mean to be safe and confident in today's world? Join ProtectUs founder and retired police detective Alison Sullivan for an empowering afternoon designed for high school-age Girl Scouts and their parents or guardians. Through engaging stories, practical advice, and open dialogue, this two-part workshop explores safety in everyday situations-from hanging out with friends to navigating online spaces-with a focus on building confidence, communication skills, and trust in your instincts.
This unique format includes sessions tailored for Girl Scouts and adults separately, followed by an opportunity to reflect and apply what they've learned. You'll walk away more informed, more prepared, and more confident-together.
Key Activities:
Explore real-life scenarios and practical safety tools
Learn how to set boundaries and speak up with confidence
Hear
unforgettable stories from a retired detective's career
Build
stronger parent/guardian connections through shared learning
💡 Badge Alignment:Tis program does not include any official badge tie-ins, but supports leadership development and real-world readiness through meaningful conversations about personal safety, confidence, and decision-making.
Who Can Attend?
This program is open to Senior and Ambassador Girl
Scouts (grades 9-12) and their parents or
guardians. Troops or individually registered Girl Scouts may
attend, but adults must register and attend alongside their Girl Scout.
Adult Volunteer Spots:
Adults attending this program are expected to participate fully
in the parent/guardian sessions and will not serve as program

empowering learning space!
