Troop 53 News

And Other Important Stuff

Submit your information to be included on this page! This page will contain all the important stuff that keeps Troop 53 running like a well-oiled machine. Well.... at least the squeeks will be minimized. Also look here for the latest updates to the Troop 53 website.

The information on this page is in reverse chronological order; the latest, or most recent, items are at the top of the page. See the Old News page for anything more than about 2 months old.

5/2/13 — Keeping up with Troop 53

A lot of stuff gets changed on this website without any sort of announcement. The calendar is probably the best example of that, although many other pages get updated periodically. Sometimes it can be a challenge to keep up with changes and additions to our program. Did you know you can:

• Subscribe to our calendar with your phone or Google Calendars and more? Go to the calendar page for more information.
• Subscribe to our RSS news feed? Click on the link at the bottom of this page.
• Get e-mail reminders of events? Go to the calendar, click on an event, then click on "Email a reminder for this event". Fill out the form and you'll get an e-mail reminder of that event "X" minutes/hours/days ahead of time. For some reason this doesn't work when clicking on an event from the list at right.
