Troop Communications
Parents will receive information via email regarding troop activities, events and meetings. To add or change an email address, please email committee.chair@wheatontroop35.org.
Scoutbook and Scout Track
Scoutbook is used to track advancements and calendar events. We encourage you to set up an account for yourself and your scout.
Scout Track is used to track sales for our annual wreath sales fundraiser. The Wreath Sales Coordinator will set up an account for all new scouts.
Calendar
Calendar events are posted on Scoutbook and are also available on our website.
Online
In addition to the troop website www.wheatontroop35.org, Troop 35 also posts on Facebook (Wheaton Troop 35) and Instagram (wheatontroop35).
Discord
Discord is used to enable communication among the scouts, with the troop’s adult leaders overseeing all interactions within the troop’s Discord channels. Scouts may request access from the Scoutmaster.
Parent Meetings
Parent meetings are held to share information about upcoming activities, such as meetings with the Scoutmaster and Troop Committee for parents of Webelos who have crossed over, or for those with a scout attending summer camp or a high adventure activity.
Courts of Honor
Courts of Honor recognize scouts’ accomplishments and provide an opportunity to share information with parents. Both scouts and their families are encouraged to attend.
Information Given to Scouts
Other information, such as the annual wreath sale fundraiser packet, is given to scouts at troop meetings. Scouts are expected to share this information with their parents. It is always wise to ask your scout if there are any handouts from the weekly meeting.
