Social Media Guidelines
Girls can use social networking sites to gather sale commitments
from family and friends. When promoting your sale on social media,
please adhere to the following guidelines for girls/families/troops:
- You can market to collect indications of interest from family
and friends
- You cannot post a girl’s Digital Cookie link on
sites such as eBay, Craigslist, KSL Classifieds, Amazon, NextDoor,
Facebook Marketplace, yard sale sites, etc.
- All social
media platforms should always be through accounts set to “private”
or "closed"
- Friends and family or a girl must not
market or share a girl’s contact information, sales links, or sales
information on public-facing online sites. This also includes social
media groups that are labeled as “closed” but include members of the
general public (city pages, special interest groups, yard sale
sites, etc.). This ensures the safety of our girls and adherence to
the cookie sale guidelines, as well as the numerous posting
guidelines on websites and social media.
- It IS allowed to
reply to someone’s post with a comment directing them to send you a
private message for a link. You should not, however, be the original
poster on public pages asking people to message you. You cannot use
paid social media advertisements to promote a girl’s link or selling
cookies in general.
- Girls must sign the Girl Scout Internet Safety Pledge before doing
any online activities, and all online activities must be under the
supervision of an adult
- Do not expose a girl’s email
address, physical address, or phone number to the public
- Girl Scouts under 13 can use their parent or guardian’s online
sites with their approval and supervision
- Girls over the
age of 13 may work in partnership with an adult to market products
online, using the social media of the adult or the girl’s social
media sites
