Calendar

 

I can't see the Troop Calendar?

  • We have a Gmail calendar setup for members of the Troop.
  • Step 1, make sure you are a member of the Troop/Crew (or a members parent).  The calendar is not public and is only visible to the current members.
  • Step 2, make sure the leaders have added you to the calendar when you became a member.
    • You will need a Gmail email account for the calendar.  If you don't have one, you can create one for free.
    • Email accounts other than Gmail will not allow you to view the calendar.  We can send your emails to accounts other than Gmail but you will need a Gmail account to view the calendar.
  • If you are on a Desktop computer - Open Google calendar and make sure there is a check mark next to "Troop/Crew 1098"
  • Mobile devices - the problem we've seen with mobile devices are that the calendar hasn't been selected or it hasn't been synced.
    • Google Calendar App
      • Open Google Calendar on your phone and click the hamburger icon in the top left (looks like three horizontal bars).
      • Click Settings.
      • Under your gmail email address, you should see "Troop/Crew 1098" (you may need to click on "Show more" to see all of your calendars).
      • Click on "Troop/Crew 1098".
      • Make sure that Sync is turned on.
      • Go back to the Calendar on your mobile device.
      • Now, when you click on the hamburger icon, you should see "Troop/Crew 1098" in the list.  You can select it or un-select it to hide our events.
    • Samsung Calendar
      • Open Samsung Calendar and click the hamburger icon in the top right (looks like three vertical dots).
      • Click Manage Calendars
      • Scroll down until you find "Troop/Crew 1098" and make sure it is selected.
    • Other mobile calendars
      • They will most likely follow the same procedures as above.  Ask one of us if you need help.
