For over 30 years, the Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England (GSSNE) have trusted Beacon Mutual as their workers’ compensation partner. What began as a coverage relationship has grown into a purpose-driven partnership rooted in community — one that supports not only workplace safety but also the Girl Scout’s mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character.
“Beacon Mutual values safety, education, and community improvement—ideals that naturally align with our mission. We both aim to foster a safer, stronger, more resilient community,” said Ginger Lallo, Chief Operating Officer, GSSNE
A Shared Commitment to Leadership and Community
Beacon’s involvement goes far beyond coverage. From having representatives serve on GSSNE’s Board of Directors and council committees to sponsoring local events and activities, Beacon’s support helps make leadership programming possible for girls across the region.
The Safety Challenge:
GSSNE’s operations involve a variety of high-traffic and seasonal activities—from cookie distribution at the loading dock to busy summer camp programs. These fast-paced environments can create safety challenges and an uptick in workers’ compensation claims, especially with a large number of seasonal staff.
The Solution:
Beacon conducted a hands-on walkthrough of GSSNE’s facilities to evaluate safety measures and emergency preparedness. Their expert recommendations led to clearer exit routes, better traffic flow, and improved cookie storage layouts—reducing trip hazards and congestion and keeping GSSNE staff, volunteers, and the girls they serve safe. During the camp season, Beacon’s responsive and professional claims handling helped staff navigate any incidents quickly and confidently so they could get back to their mission of investing in the growth and development of girls in our community.
During camp season, Beacon's claims team was an essential resource for GSSNE staff. 
“Due to the large number of campers and seasonal employees, we typically see more claims in the summer. The staff at Beacon Mutual are consistently friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Claims are processed quickly, and follow-ups are handled efficiently—we truly appreciate their support,” said Rebecca Rogers, Chief Financial Officer, GSSNE
Real Results:
- 30+ years partnering with Beacon’s Safety & Claims Team
- Achieved credit mod since 2016 by controlling claims
- Enhanced facility security for employees and girl scouts
- Clarified emergency exit routes to enhance preparedness
