• Create common events such as camping, hiking, and backpacking based on ScoutTrek templates
• Create custom event templates for your Troop and allow authorized users like Patrol Leaders to create those event types
• Store, update, and send notifcations based on the latest changes to events, ensuring all users are up to date

Tech
