A Shared Calendar for Your Scout Troop
Troop meetings, campouts, badge workshops, cookie sales — synced to every family's phone. No app to download. No accounts for your parents.
Create Your Scout Calendar — FreeSound familiar?
It's Saturday at 6 AM. The camping trip leaves from the church parking lot at 7, but three families are still at home because the departure time was buried on page two of a PDF attachment that got sent three weeks ago.
The troop leader moved Tuesday's meeting from the school cafeteria to the park pavilion because of a scheduling conflict. She posted it on the troop Facebook group, but two dads don't have Facebook and showed up at the wrong location with confused kids.
Your troop coordinator fields texts all week from parents: "Do we need to bring snacks this Tuesday?" "When is the next campout?" "Is there a meeting during spring break?" The pack calendar is on the troop website, but nobody bookmarks it and the password resets every month.

Here's what scout troops typically put on their shared calendar:
What this looks like in practice
Rick, the scoutmaster, opens iCalFeed on Sunday evening. He adds the merit badge fair for next month, updates Tuesday's meeting to include a packing list for the campout, and posts the cookie sale shift schedule. Total time: five minutes.
Angela, a troop mom, is planning the family's week on Monday morning. She sees "Troop 247 Meeting — 6:30 PM, School Cafeteria (Bring camping gear for inspection)" right on her phone calendar between her daughter's piano lesson and a dentist appointment. She sets out the backpack that night.
On Wednesday, the campground calls to say the site is flooded and the troop needs to switch to a different location an hour north. Rick edits the event, adds the new address, and by Thursday every parent's phone shows the updated campground with a link to directions. No frantic group text needed.
How iCalFeed compares
vs. Troop website calendar
Parents have to remember to check it. Most forget the URL and password.
Events come to them — synced to the calendar they check every day.
vs. Email with PDF attachments
PDFs don't open well on phones. Details get lost in long documents.
Clean event details right on their phone calendar. Easy to read at a glance.
vs. Facebook group
Not all parents use Facebook. Important posts get buried under photo albums.
Every subscribed parent sees every event. No social media required.
vs. Group text / WhatsApp
Twenty parents replying creates chaos. Key details scroll away in minutes.
Event details stay pinned on their calendar. No message clutter.
