How to Submit Service Hours for all Projects
Our Troopmaster Administrator is Ms. Janine Olsen, a parent volunteer. (Troopmaster is the name of the database software that stores and tracks our troop's information.)

It's each scout's responsibility to submit their completed community service hours. The troop will not be following up with each scout about service hours. Please send your completed service hours to Ms. Olsen (janine.olsen@gmail.com) and copy at least one of your parents in the message. As a reminder, any community service project outside troop-sponsored events must first be approved by Scoutmaster Pearl.
