Sign Up for GroupMe Notifications

Posted on Jun 25 2025 - 3:23pm

We are moving from the Remind app to GroupMe for time-sensitive announcements (like campout return time). This is primarily due to a change that Remind made to text message notification capabilities. GroupMe allows text message notifications to be turned on and should be a good solution for us.

Please sign-up ASAP. We will be using GroupMe for future announcements.

Thank You (Riley’s Eagle Project)

Posted on May 18 2025 - 5:15pm

Hi Troop 918,

First, thank you so much to everyone who came by this weekend to help with my Eagle Project, you all did an amazing job. The church is extremely happy with the end result and the area looks better than I've ever seen it.

Second, the total cost for the project was around $425. The church has offered to pay for some of the expenses, but I am still collecting donations for the remainder. If you would like to make a donation, it would be greatly appreciated! To do so, please donate to the troop through Zelle: credit@troop918.com and put "Riley's Eagle Project" in the description. You can also bring a check or cash donation to a troop meeting.

Thanks,
Riley Mortenson
