Volunteers are required to disclose to GSOC if they are living with a sex offender or have regular personal contact with a convicted sex offender, as well as the nature and the extent of such relationships or contacts. Volunteers who violate this procedure will be barred from any further participation in Girl Scout activities, and it is GSOC's intent to actively pursue termination of such volunteer's services and possible criminal prosecution.
