As a reminder, Troop 755 is also on Twitter and you can follow us @troop755.  Often you can follow the boys on campouts as adult leaders post tweets during the trip. The intent of this effort is to have a little fun as well as provide a central clearinghouse of various Scouting activities that are taking place on Social Media.  We have over 215 followers so far -- please help us get to 100! Don't want to become a Twitter user but would like to stay connected?  You can text "follow troop755" to 40404 and you will receive all of the Troop 755 tweets on your phone as SMS text messages.

If any registered adult leader would like to learn how to publish tweets on the Troop account, please contact the webmaster using the "Contact Us" feature.
