Setting Up Social Media Accounts
WAIT!
Did you know your troop and service unit may already have a site set up on Rallyhood? (Check there first, or contact us for help.)
To protect our members, we have developed specific social media guidelines for Girl Scouts of Virginia Skyline volunteers to use.
| Troops |
Service Units |
Privacy: Closed
Naming convention: “GSVSC Troop #”
i.e. GSVSC Troop 24014
Girls under 13: Adult Admins Only |
Privacy: Closed
Naming convention:
“GSVSC Service Unit #”
i.e. GSVSC Service Unit 540 |
| At least one adult must serve as an administrator on all websites and social media accounts, as well as be the person responsible for the email address associated with the account. Have a plan in place for admin back-ups and password recovery. |
Be Sensitive About Privacy
- Only use first names for youth in posts. If you have more than one girl with the same first name, the last initial can be used. Example: Juliette L.
- Never post last names, phone numbers, addresses, or email addresses.
- Get photo permission before posting pictures of youth.
- Do not violate copyright laws. Do not use any images without permission.
