Communication

There are several ways for parents to stay informed about what is going on in the troop.

Parent Emails

To ensure that you receive all email communication from the Troop we recommend that you sign up as soon as possible to receive the Troop1988 Yahoo Group mailings.  This is the method that the Scoutmaster, Patrol Advisors and Committee Members use to send emails to adults in the troop.  You can join the group by going to http://groups.yahoo.com and searching for Troop1988.  In order to join the group you will need to create a free Yahoo account.

Scout Folder

Your son will bring home permission slips and other handouts from Troop and Patrol meetings in a folder for you to fill out and return to the next meeting.  Your son is responsible for giving you the forms and handing them in to his Patrol Leader at the next meeting.

Website

Be sure to check out the Troop Website, www.bsatroop1988.org for the current Troop calendar, frequently used forms, gear lists, policies, and links to many useful scouting sites.

Troop 1988 has developed a plan for socially distant in-person meetings through December 2020.

We are also open to new members and families who are seeking an outlet for activities and socializing for boys ages 11-17.

Troop activities follow guidance provided by the BSA, the CDC, and the Montgomery County department of Health.  Contact the Troop Adult leadership for more details.
