Troop 10 Guide

All of the troop's communications between meetings is conducted online. Troop members are highly encouraged to join our Troop 10 Yahoo! group; just create yourself a free Yahoo! account login and join the Troop_10_Barrington_IL group. Please include the name of the scout in your request; this is a closed group limited to Troop 10 members. You continue to use your existing email accounts, you can list multiple emails (e.g., work and home) and you manage email address changes yourself to keep them current. Once your request to join is approved, group members get email communications from troop leaders and can access password-protected files, including the Merit Badge Counselor list, photos, and the troop directory which includes telephone numbers and email and home addresses.

Registered members can email all Troop 10 members by sending to Troop_10_Barrington_IL@yahoogroups.com or by clicking here. (Note: You can send your message only from the email address you registered with Yahoo! Groups and all messages are then manually reviewed by the moderators.)

Troop 10 also hosts a Venture Crew.
