Hello Troop 457 and welcome to our new (experimental) Troop newsletter!

 

While the Troop will continue to use TroopTrack for managing our event calendar, advancement, and general communications, we will use this newsletter to share important updates and follow-up on action items from our discussions at the monthly PLC and Parents meetings. 

 

You can also follow the Troop on Social Media for other important and timely updates.  Just click on the Icons at the top of the page to visit and subscribe to our social accounts.

 

Take a read through the newsletter and let me know if you have any questions, comments, or feedback.  We will continue to evolve the format and content over the upcoming months.

BE AWARE: Our website hosting provider is experiencing intermittent outages that is causing our site to be unavailable.  If you encounter an error when trying to read more or submit a survey, simply wait a few minutes and try again.

Yours in Scouting,

Mr. Maloney
