For Pack Members

The Pack calendar is the more important one to get set up as that is the main tool we use (along with emails) to keep everyone updated with events, activities, and meetings. We also keep some useful information in the Pack Drive (pack roster/contacts, pack job list, photo links, scout requirements, reimbursement form, committee meeting notes, etc.) that you may want to have access to from time to time.

IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE YOU START: In order to subscribe to the Pack Calendar and access the Pack Google Drive, you need to log into Google using the email registered with our pack (it's registered if you receive our Pack emails there). If you use another email account for Google services, please email admin@pack275.org with your current pack registered email with the additional email(s) you want to register.

PACK CALENDAR

If you haven't subscribed to our Pack calendar yet, please go to the following URL on your computer (not sure if it'll work on the phone): Pack 275 Calendar

It should pop up with a message that says "Add Calendar?" Click "Add"

Once you do the above step, if you still don't see the pack calendar, look on the left hand side of the Google calendar, you should see "Other calendars". Under there, you should see a "Pack 275" calendar. Clicking on the name of the calendar will toggle (show/hide) that particular calendar from your Google calendar display. Make sure you enable/show the Pack 275 calendar.

iPhone users

If you have an iPhone/iPad/iCal, and the calendar is not syncing to your Apple calendar app, login to your Google

account, https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect, and enable the Pack 275 calendar to sync to your

iPhone/iPad/iCal and then click "Save."

PACK DRIVE

Direct Link: Pack 275 Google Drive (You must log in with the email address on file with the Pack in order to access)

NOTE: If you will be accessing the Pack Drive on the phone, it's better if you download the "Google Drive" app and log in using the email you have on file with the pack.

On the computer, you should see the Pack drive under your "Shared drives." Expand it to see the "Cub Scout Pack 275" folder to navigate into.

In the Google Drive app on the phone, you should see a "Shared drives" tab on the top once you enter the app. Click on it and you should see the "Cub Scout Pack 275" folder to navigate into.

WHATSAPP GROUP

We use a WhatsApp group to notify each other quickly in case of anything unexpected (like the road closure on the way to a pack event) or for any on-the-go communications. If you don't already use WhatsApp, you can download in AppStore or Play Store for free. If you don't use it, we will still try to send email communications too, but they may be delayed. Note that this chat group is only meant for ad-hoc uses. Our official pack communication channel is still email​, so please continue to check for emails from the pack (and use Google calendar to keep track of meetings and events).
