What is Rallyhood for? How will it help me, my service unit, and/or my troop? toggle arrow

The purpose of Rallyhood is to make the day-to-day responsibilities of volunteers in leadership roles easier. The Rallyhood platform combines the functionality of tools like Eventbrite, SignUp Genius, Shutterfly, Facebook, Flickr, Google Calendar, Google Forms, and Survey Monkey all in one place. It seamlessly integrates so many of the functions our volunteers need, including communication, calendars, file sharing, and surveys, and that’s just a partial list! Service units and troops can customize their sites with their own photos and information, creating their own space for volunteers and parents to communicate.

Why did Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida choose Rallyhood? toggle arrow

Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida is launching Rallyhood this year to provide an additional level of support to service units and troops at a time when staying connected online is more important than ever. Rallyhood has been working with Girl Scout councils for 5+ years, making them familiar with the Girl Scout movement and the needs of its volunteers. In fact, Rallyhood has worked directly with Council staff and volunteers to build out functionality that addresses our organization’s unique needs. Rallyhood has created an ecosystem customized to our council and volunteer groups, and will continue to work with council staff to improve how the system works for our volunteers.

How is Rallyhood different from other apps? toggle arrow

We have heard from many volunteers that the inconsistency of using fragmented tools creates challenges and makes the volunteer experience stressful. A key benefit of Rallyhood is that it offers a more streamlined approach. The intent is to have one platform with all the tools and all our council groups in one place.

Rallyhood gives us a council-wide solution that unites our groups, troops, committees, panels, and forums on a single platform, helping create a more consistent, connected, and efficient Girl Scout experience.

How does a Rallyhood community work? toggle arrow

There are a number of council-level community hubs categorized by types of volunteer roles and activities where council staff will post content for volunteer groups or Girl Scout families. In addition to these council-level Rallyhood communities, each service unit may have its own community hub with additional rallies (sub-groups) within it, such as rallies for troop leaders, troop cookie managers, families, event coordinators, day camp, volunteer committees, and others that are specific to that service unit. Within these community hubs and rallies, a service unit or troop can promote events, post information, start conversations, take registration for activities, create calendars, etc. There is no limit to the number of rallies allowed to be created within a community hub, and these can be created by anyone who is an admin on the account.

How do I start a Rallyhood community for my Service Unit? toggle arrow

Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida has already created a Rallyhood community hub for each service unit. District and neighborhood managers will receive an email invitation to access and start using their Rallyhood site, which they can choose to use, or delegate to another volunteer on their service unit team.

Who can see my Rallyhood community hubs and rallies? toggle arrow

Community hubs and rallies can be set to public or private. If set to public, anyone could find that hub or rally in a search, join it, and access content. If set to private, an individual would need to be invited in order to access the hub or rally. This way you can control who is a member of individual rallies, such as inviting all troop cookie managers within your service unit to a rally specific to them.

I’m already using other platforms (Shutterfly, Facebook, Band, etc.) to store and share files, posts, calendars, and photos. How do I move them to Rallyhood? toggle arrow

There is not an automatic way to move content from other platforms to Rallyhood. You will need to move content manually to Rallyhood by downloading from your existing platform(s) and uploading to Rallyhood. The good news is it might be a good time to clean up and reorganize your photos and files!
