A. A unit roster is a list of members in a unit which includes the girls' and adults' names, contact information and other details that a Guider needs to know to effectively run unit activities. Only adult members can see unit rosters.

The unit roster does not include information from girls’ health forms (e.g. allergies, medications). The health forms for tracking this information are available on the Safe Guide Forms page.

A. The information on rosters should only be used for the purpose for which is was collected – to contact Guiders, Unit Assistants, and/or girls’ parents/guardians about unit activities. This requirement is a component if GGC’s privacy policy and privacy statement, and governed by privacy legislation. To support this, here are some do’s and don’ts regarding the information about girls and their families:

• Do use the BCC (blind copy) box for group emails to avoid sharing individual’s email addresses
• Unit rosters should not be distributed; adult Members of the unit have access to view it themselves in Member Zone.
• Do not use information from unit rosters for personal purposes (i.e. inviting parents/guardians to a social event outside of Guiding)
• Do not use it to invite members or parents/guardians to personal social media pages (i.e. Facebook or LinkedIn)
• Review the best practices and tips for sending emails found in CASL Overview and Best Practices Tips
• Review Privacy Breach Procedures for tips on storing, transporting, and managing personal information.

A. Training resources and information including where to take courses are available on Member Zone. The main Training page is a good place to start.
