Communications:
Cell Phones:
The Troop policy is that scouts will not be on phones, But we realize phones are cameras. If your scout brings a cell phone, they will be responsible for lost or damaged phones. There are no charging stations in the Camp designated for Scout usage. All adult Leaders will have their phones if you need to reach your scout. Also, the Camp contact information can be found in the Troop parent letter.
Troop App
We will communicate using the Team Reach app throughout the week. Service may be spotty & slow, so you should expect response delays.
Photo Updates:
I will create a new album in our website members' area (LINK). I will add new photos to this album each day. If you are not a member of the troop site, you will not be able to see the album. So, if you still need to set up a username or password, you can click here to do so.
