Rallyhood

We are excited to announce our new collaboration platform: Rallyhood.

The work you do every day to support the Girl Scout mission is critical to our girls’ success and we are excited to give you a digital solution that will help everyone communicate better, smarter, and more efficiently-together!

Rallyhood is an all-in-one solution that integrates the many functions you need to communicate, collaborate, share files, organize events, share photos, and build a strong, connected Girl Scouts community. Rallyhood has worked with Girl Scouts volunteers and council staff around the country for years and has designed specific functionality for Girl Scout councils, SUs, and troops that will eliminate the inefficiency of using fragmented apps and create a more consistent way for us to stay organized and engaged online.

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 our members and volunteers easier and to build a more connected Girl Scout community. The Rallyhood platform combines the functionality of tools like Band, Shutterfly, Facebook, Flickr, Google Calendar, Google Forms, and Survey Monkey, and more in one place. It seamlessly integrates so many of the functions we all need — communication, calendaring, file sharing, 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. The best part is it's private! No ads or algorithms. Our Rallyhood Platform is only accessible to Girl Scouts of Alaska Member and Families!

Why did our Council choose Rallyhood? toggle arrow

Our Council is launching Rallyhood to provide an additional level of support to our members, volunteers, 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—they’re familiar with the Girl Scout movement and the needs of our 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 families and volunteers.

How is Rallyhood different from other apps? toggle arrow

We have heard from many volunteers that using fragmented tools creates lots of challenges and makes the work we all do difficult. A key benefit of Rallyhood is that it helps us take a more streamlined approach. The intent is to have one platform with all the tools and all our Council groups in one place. It provides us with a council-wide solution that brings all of our groups, troops, committees, and forums together on one platform to create a more consistent and efficient Girl Scout experience for all of us.

How much does it cost? toggle arrow

Our Council covers the cost of using Rallyhood, so members can enjoy and use it for free!

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, every troop, 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.

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

Our Council has already created a Rallyhood community hub for each service unit and troop! Service unit managers and troop 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. If you have more questions about starting your Rally contact your Volunteer Engagement Specialist.

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.
