The material on this site may not be published nor broadcast without obtaining prior permission, unless it is published or broadcast in total, without changes or editing of any kind.

Use of the SpiralScouts name and logo:

In order to protect the rights this trademark affords us, and to protect our children, we have instituted the following policies.

No one may use the names or trademarks without first having requested and received written approval from SpiralScouts International, Inc. "SpiralScouts" is a registered trademark. It is one word, and the font (whenever possible) should be Comic Sans. The SpiralScouts logo is a clockwise spiral of stars and symbols, either in color or in black and white.

Only currently chartered Circles and Hearths have license to use the SpiralScouts name and logo on any and all materials they might find useful, as long as the use is in good taste and does not detract from the overall image of SpiralScouts International, in accordance with published rules.

Chartered Circles and Hearths must inform SpiralScouts HQ of any websites they create using the SpiralScouts name. For printing and other purposes, they may get printing done through SpiralScouts HQ or they may request camera ready artwork from HQ.

Only approved ProtoCircles (those who are seeking to form a SpiralScouts Circle or Hearth in their area) may use our name and logo in advertising upcoming meetings and in seeking sponsors, only by prior written permission and only accoring to published rules, as long as such use is in good taste and does not detract from the overall image of SpiralScouts International.

All other uses of our name and logo should be cleared with SpiralScouts HQ. Please e-mail volunteers@spiralscouts.org for more information

E-mail Lists:

SpiralScouts International must be a co-owner of all SpiralScouts related e-mail lists which use the SpiralScouts name or logo in any form (including the common misspelling of "SpiralScouts" as two separate words). This is especially true for groups that are not yet chartered.

ProtoCircles will be given an email list for their use; any list set up outside the ProtoCircle guidelines, and/or any use of the names and/or trademarked Spiral logo in creating an email list without following these guidelines is subject to being shut down for trademark infringement and/or prosecution of the group owner(s) without notice.
