How do I obtain my GSSJC Proficient and Advanced Swimmer Card?

We have made it really simple! All you will need to do is go to our website www.gssjc.org. Once on the site you will find the form needed under the “Volunteer hub” tab. When you click on “Forms and Documents” you can search “Swim test” and the form will appear. Print that form out and take it to your local community pool, Recreation center, or swimming pool for the required professionals to administer the test. Please note that girls will still be re-tested at the time of the activity and could be requested to leave if they do not pass the test. If your Girl Scout has participated in American Red Cross Swim Lessons in the past and have obtained a Level 4 swim card, she can still use that as the requirement.
