January Roundtable Summary

"One of our Scouts made $400 using Square!"

Definitely take a gander at this recording.  Rob Bayer from Pack 9449 covers how they use Google Workspace for their documentation management and communications.  He also covers near the end how they use Square to manage remote orders and deliveries for Wreath Sales.  Please don't miss this!

The link below takes you to the recording and resources Rob pulled together for the Units.  

Thank you Rob Bayer!!
