To receive troop updates and emails and to get access to the troop’s Google Calendar, email a request to troop51bsa+owner@googlegroups.com from the email address you want to subscribe with.

For full access to Troop 51’s Google Group and Calendar features, you should request access from an email address that is tied to a Google account.

Note that none of this requires you to have a gmail account.  You can create and use a Google account that is tied to a non-gmail email address (e.g., yahoo.com, hotmail.com, aol.com, etc.). If you need help with how to do this, contact us at troop51bsa+owner@googlegroups.com.

If you decide that you do not want to use a Google account, we can add your email address to the Google Group for email delivery only.  If you elect to go this route, you will be able to send and receive email through the troop’s Google Group email address.  However, you will not be able to access the troop’s protected Google Calendar, view previous messages sent to the troop’s Google Group, nor be able to access other protected files that may be shared to the troop through Google Drive.
