Our communications platform is moving!

 

The Who:

All Pack 1910 families! (Yep, that's you, and I promise this time I'm not asking for volunteers!)

The What/Why:

Our primary email communications have traditionally come via Scoutbook, but over the past several weeks there have been issues in their platform with the end result being missed emails (seemingly randomly). Unfortunately there's not an ETA on when (or even if) a resolution will be in place and "The Pack must go on!"

The When:

Right now! Today! Like earlier this morning, check your email from April! 😄

The Where/How:

We're moving to a new platform called BAND (I'll let you guess their most popular customers 🥁). There are options to accept messages via SMS, email, or even desktop alerts as well as the ability for admins to create sub-groups for each Den to help facilitate communication at the small unit level. 

Make sure you accept the invite in the email from April earlier today (Monday, February 13th, 2023) and when you're setting up your profile the system will prompt you for your Den leader's name so we can get you into the right group(s). 

Hopefully this is as painless for you as it can possibly be and we really appreciate your flexibility. We all know how stressful moving day can be, especially when it's unexpected. Thanks for you patience and we can't wait to see you over there!

Edit: check out the iOS and Android apps too!

Note: Scoutbook is still our official tool for recording advancement for your Scout(s) as well as our unit calendar. BAND is only replacing the email/communications functionality.
