Troop Takeovers
We have an exciting opportunity for Girl Scouts ages 13 and older! Troop Takeovers are here! Who is ready to take over Girl Scouts of Manitou Council's Instagram? We can't wait to see your troop in ACTION.
Is your troop doing something unique? Going on an amazing travel adventure? Having an epic ceremony? All these things are the perfect opportunity to give our followers an inside look at what Girl Scouting is all about. You'll get to post to our stories and feed with your awesome Girl Scout activities and adventures.
This opportunity is available to troops or individual Girl Scouts ages 13 and over. This is intended to be girl-led and an exciting opportunity for our older girls, not their leaders.
Those troops who are interested in taking over our Instagram account must submit the interest form and agree to our social media community guidelines. The Director of Communications, Cassie Brown, will review interest forms and reach out to the contact listed on the form. You will be given the log in instructions and your one-time password, as well as a document containing more information, tips & tricks, and FAQ.
Learn more about this opportunity. Have questions? Contact the Director of Communications, Cassie Brown.
