Who advises the girl?
The parent/guardian or volunteer
designated by the local volunteer team (Service Unit Team) can advise
a Juliette. All adult advisors that plan to work on the Girl Scout
program with the girl, must be registered adult members of the Girl Scouts.
What does the advisor do?
Each advisor/parent not only
provides guidance for most of the girl’s Girl Scout experience, she
communicates information from both Girl Scouts of Connecticut and
local Girl Scouts regarding program, training, and recognition
opportunities. A Juliette advisor/parent is the link between Girl
Scouting and the individual girl member.
Does an advisor need Volunteer Application and references?
Training?
If the unrelated advisor has direct contact
with the girl and is working on Girl Scout Program then they must be
registered and complete a background check. Juliette advisors are
encourage to take GSOFCT Orientation but it is not required.
How will Service Units know they have Juliettes?
The
local volunteer area manager (Service Unit Manager) has access to the
contact information for all independently registered adults and
Juliettes. Local volunteers are encouraged to reach out to Juliettes
and share information about Girl Scout community events. Juliettes can
also join a Girl Scouts of Connecticut group on Rallyhood by
contacting Customer Care
and requesting to be a part of the Juliette rally and be connected
with other Juliettes across the state. This will also provide
Juliettes and their families information about current GSOFCT
programs, the product sales programs, and summer camp.
Can a Juliette go on trips? Is she covered under insurance? Does a
permission slip need to be filled out and submitted to the local
Service Unit?
A Juliette can go on trips or participate
in Girl Scout activities sponsored by troops, Service Units, and
Council. As a registered Girl Scout, she is covered under Girl Scout
Insurance. Juliettes may directly register for GSOFCT events online.
Check out our Program Resource Guide to find council-sponsored events to attend.
Can Juliettes occasionally get together to go camping, horseback
riding etc. along with their advisors?
Yes, a Juliette
can participate in events with other Juliettes and approved Girl Scout
advisors. A troop trip application should be submitted to the local
Service Unit Manager. If the girls decide they would like to continue
to get together they should form a special interest group.
