Scouts: Register in "Scoutbook" on this website!
We have a facebook-like tool on the website so scouts can keep in touch outside of scout meetings. Please setup an account asap, so that we can complete this functionality to the site. Parents and adult leaders are permitted to join too. Only Troop 572 members will have accounts, so this is a safe way for our scouts to keep in touch.
