All adults who will be working with girls as part of the adult/girl ratio, working with money or products, working with adult's or girl's personal information, or attending an overnight activity must have a background check. The information obtained in that background check is confidential but will be used to determine an adult's clearance status. The decision to exclude or limit an individual's participation as a volunteer is solely within the discretion of the Girl Scout Council that requested the background check.
Only the Girl Scout is capitalized. It should be Girl Scout leader.

Yes, I know a scout sniper that likes the booze and has a DUI. However, I'm sure he had to pull some strings or have a higher up vouch for him or somehow concealed the DUI during the process...but to answer your question there are scout snipers out there with DUI's
The best way to find this answer is to contact your Girl Scout troop leader or your Girl Scout council. Girl Scout guidelines are that this type of information (locations and other information about girl events) shouldn't be posted to the Internet.
The leader of a Girl Scout troop or group is called the leader or adviser. There might also be an assistant troop leader or a co-leader. In Girl Guides the troop leader is called the Guider, or the Brown Owl.
Ask the Girl Scout. They should know, but if they do not know they should find out from their cookie manager or troop leader. Making the check out to "Girl Scouts" is acceptable and usually preferred. You can also make the check out to the Girl Scout troop, for example: Girl Scout Troop _____, and put the troop number into the blank. Or the check can be made out to the Girl Scout council in charge of the cookie sale.
Yes, and so should "Girl Scout". In addition: Girl Scout Brownie is a proper noun because it names a specific level of Girl Scouting, so yes, Brownie should be capitalized whenever referring to a Girl Scout Brownie. Note: GSUSA changed the level names so that "Girl Scout" always comes first, so "Girl Scout Brownie" is the correct usage.
Girl Scouts do not use a system of "rank". Girl Scout levels are based on grade level and age. Carrie Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynold's, became a Girl Scout troop leader when Carrie joined Girl Scouts.
Girl Scout Cookie Sales dates and procedures are different for each Girl Scout council. In addition, the Girl Scout Neighborhood or Service Unit can set due dates as can the troop/group leaders or cookie chair. For the most accurate information, contact your troop/group leader or cookie chair. You can also check your Girl Scout Council's web site.
In Girl Scouts of the USA, a Juliette Girl Scout is a Girl Scout who is not a member of a Girl Scout Troop or Group. In order to become a Juliette you register for Girl Scouts and then let the membership registration person know that you want to be a Juliette Girl Scout. A Girl Scout can also become a Juliette when there are no longer have enough girls to have a troop or there isn't an adult willing to volunteer to be the troop or group leader. Again, let the membership registration person for your area or your Girl Scout council that you would like to be a Juliette. In other Girl Guide and Girl Scout organizations, they are known as Lone Scouts.
No, anyone qualified can help a Cadette girl scout with interest patches. But check with your leader first before starting one.
Each Girl Scout council has their own forms for the GS Gold Award. Usually a Girl Scout will attend a training which will help her learn how to fill out the forms and complete the requirements. Girl Scouts should also have an adviser for their Gold Award project and the adviser and/or troop leader should guide the Girl Scout through the whole process.
