Can you explain the mailboxes and the Troop Scoop?

About two years ago we came up with the idea of using mailboxes to distribute printed information to the Scouts. Prior to that we used to have Adults stand the at the doorway at the end of meetings and hand out the information, but it never failed that a number of Scouts left without getting the information and then deadlines were missed. With the mailbox system, we know if a Scout has taken the information if his mailbox is empty. Now whether or not that gets home and into your hands is another matter. We also try to distribute information through email, including reminders about things that were distributed in the mailboxes and we are posting things on our Website, Troop98.org.

The Troop Scoop is our "weekly" news letter, which is distributed at regular meetings.
