FAQs

What is Rallyhood for? How will it help my community/area or 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 in one place. Communities/areas and troops can customize their sites with their own photos and information, creating their own space for volunteers and parents to communicate.

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 community/area 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/encampment volunteer committees, and others that are specific to that community/area. Within these community hubs and rallies, a community/area or troop can promote events, post information, start conversations, take registration and payment 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 community/area? toggle arrow

Girl Scouts of Kentucky's Wilderness Road has already created a Rallyhood hub for each Service Unit/community/area. SU/Community/area leaders will receive an email invitation to access and start using their Rallyhood site, which they can choose to use, ignore if not interested (It’ll be there later if you change your mind!), or delegate to another volunteer on their community/area volunteer team.

What if my community/area or troop already uses Rallyhood? toggle arrow

We know some communities/areas and troops are already using Rallyhood on their own. That’s great! Your existing Rallyhood community can be integrated into the Girl Scouts of Kentucky's Wilderness Road ecosystem, which will allow you to stop paying for your own account and for your volunteers to access other council-level Rallyhood communities.

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

Community hubs and rallies can be set to public or private. If set to public, anyone within Rallyhood 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 community/area 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, since they are competing companies. You will need to move content manually to Rallyhood by downloading from your existing platform(s) and uploading to Rallyhood. The good news—it might be a good time to clean up and reorganize your photos and files!
