How do I subscribe to the Pack event calendar?
Category : News
If you use Google Calendar, the quickest/easiest way to get started is to navigate to the Event Calendar page, and click the +Google Calendar button in the lower right. This will give you all Pack-wide events, including holidays, local sporting events, etc.
However, you should also subscribe to events published by your Den leaders. To do this, login to scoutbook.com and navigate to My Dashboard > Events > My Calendar.
At the bottom of the page, you will find Subscribe links for the Pack and the Den for each of your scouts. Click each to find a URL like:
