Information sources, are available in many formats and methods.
1) The main source of information are the weekly Troop meetings and the monthly PLC / TLC meetings (PLC = patrol leader council, TLC = troop leader council). Please check the monthly calendars for meeting days and times. Meetings provide the most current information on what is happening in the Troop.
2) This web site. We have tried to develop this site as a constant and current source of information that is available to all Troop members 24/7. It offers forms, calendars, and general information with only a few clicks of a mouse.
3) Emails. A mailing list is maintained by the Troop with current email addresses. Many Troop members have their parents work as well as home email addresses on this list, as well as the Scout's email address. This insures everyone receives the same information in a very timely manner. Using this method, late breaking news or announcements can easily and quickly be broadcast to all concerned. Make sure you have your current email address on file with the Troop.
