Ahoy Troop 1001!

I am sending this from the Seabase Florida Keys Sailing program. It is time for popcorn sales so that your boys can earn money in order to pay their way for high adventures, dues or even summer camp! There are currently shifts open to sign up starting August 5th.

With that said, you and your scout must attend ONE of the three zoom meetings that will be offered. If you do not attend one of these trainings you can not sign up for a shift to sell. This training is to clarify rules and expectations while selling popcorn. Last year there was a bit of a grey area and this year any deviation from the expectation given will have ramifications on the Troop. As of right now we will only be signing up for August until it is filled.

I am finalizing the training dates and will post the final dates (it's looking like July 31st, August 1st and August 3rd at 7:30PM) and the zoom link as soon as possible.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

You spoke and we heard you!! Our old website is BACK and better than ever - www.troop1001.org

Our FABULOUS team of behind the scenes volunteers are still diligently putting the pieces back together but for the most part, things are still located where they used to be.

HUGE shout out to DAVE GANTT, TREY OTTE, JASON BOOKER & CARY SLOBIN for getting us back up and running. JILL TEAGARDEN also worked diligently to get our database all cleaned up and reconciled. 

Our event registration is now back on this website (like before) and is no longer in TroopMaster. IF you registered for an event in TroopMaster, Cary re-registered you for GDX on this website.

AND ALL of the old email addresses work: scoutmaster@troop1001.org, committeechair@troop1001.org, advancement@troop1001.org, bor@troop1001.org, swag@troop1001.org, webmaster@troop1001.org

TroopMaster is still the system we use for our ADVANCEMENT Tracking BUT we are NO LONGER using TroopMaster for our calendar and event registration. https://tmweb.troopmaster.com/mysite/T1001 (Look for the login link in the top left corner)

For any issues logging in you can email webmaster@troop1001.org or committechair@troop1001.org

FYI - You can access the locked sections on the left tool bar of the new webpage with the password "CanyonCreekCrew!"

With the shift to the new company and new servers handling the troop website, if you previously subscribed to the troop calendar you will need to deactivate it on your device and reestablish the connection to the new calendar.

To get started, navigate to the upper left corner of the troop website in the "User" section and under your user name, you will see the "Calendar Sync" option.  Click HERE for instructions for how to activate it.

My name is Drew Hodnett.  I have been in Troop 1001 since 2018 and have just recently moved on to working on my Eagle Project.  If a few people could donate a couple hours of their time or a small sum of money, it would go a long way to helping my beneficiary.

My chosen project is to create a small outdoor classroom space for the Fine Arts program at my current school, John Paul II High School in Plano.  This is needed by the department due to several of the fine arts classes sharing the same class space at the same time.  Creating an outdoor space would allow for the 3D Art, 2D Art, and Woodshop classes to all have spaces to work without interfering with one another's work.  

My workdays will be the afternoons of July 22 & 23 and the link to sign up for spots is: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0A45A5AD22AAFA7-andrew.  

The link for my GoFundMe is: DREWH GOFUNDME  

If you need to contact me about questions or availability, you can reach me at dubscayde@gmail.com.  

Thank you all very much for your support,  

Drew Hodnett, ASPL

The troop needs additional team members to work with the current adults in the following positions.

We like to have at least 2 active people per position so the burden doesn’t fall on one person.
