[Pack553 - 📷 Picture Sharing] Introducing Pack 553 Smug Mug!
Introducing Pack 553 Pack 553 now has a simple, beautiful, and secure way to store, view, and share an unlimited number of photos and videos! Why can't I see any Galleries? When you first visit, all you'll see is the Cover Image and Profile Picture. This is because all of the Galleries are "unlisted." Only those with a link and password to the specific Gallery can browse and download the pictures. Alternatively, specific upload links can be made to "blindly" upload to a Gallery without seeing any of the pictures. What do I need to install to use SmugMug? Nothing! SmugMug is a website, so you just need a browser and a link to a gallery. It will work from your desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. The iPhone and Android apps are just for the account owner, so you don't use them. Are there any limits to what can be uploaded? Individual pictures can be up to 150MB. Individual videos can be up to 20 minutes and/or 3GB. An unlimited number of pictures and videos can be uploaded. For further details, contact the Cubmaster. |
👎❌🚫⛔[Pack 553 - 🌀 - Update: Sunday Morning] 🍦🍨Ice Cream Social is OFF
 Bottom Line - Ice Cream Social is CANCELLED this afternoon. We will work with the church when they re-open to RESCHEDULE at a later date. We won't have any word on the reschedule until AFTER TUESDAY. Christ Our Redeemer, out of an abundance of caution, has closed their facilities and will not re-open until Tuesday, at the earliest. Pack 553 is, therefore, canceled this afternoon. More words to follow once we can coordinate with the church when they re-open. Thank you for your patience. Please take the time to continue preparing, to help other people, and to obey the Scout Law! Looking Forward, Cubmaster Nate |
