Pack Calendar sync

You can synchronize Pack calendar with your own calendar (google, apple, microsoft,...). Basically, you will get a subscription link to the calendar from Scoutbook. On the bottom left you will find Pack and Den calendars. You want to click on Green square with Pack 195 Subscribe, which will pop up a window with a link to an .ics file (the current link is http://scoutbook.scouting.org/ics/29084.D187F.ics, which changed recently). Copy this URL, and import it (add by URL) into your calendar application. See detailed device specific guide below.

Pack Emails

The Pack leadership as well as Den leaders will frequently send emails to parents. It is a good practice to make sure emails sent from these addresses are not caught by your Spam mail filter:
