Troop Scoop is Moving!

Beginning in October, you’ll find Troop Scoop in your inbox on the first Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. The new schedule will bring you important updates, upcoming opportunities and helpful resources earlier in the month as you plan ahead with your troop. Look for our first full edition on the new schedule Tuesday, Oct. 6. In the meantime, we have a few reminders and updates that can’t wait until October. Consider this your Mini Scoop--a little something to hold you over until the full scoop arrives!
