Groups

What are groups?

Groups make it easy to email the right people and manage access to files at Oak Grove Scouting. Email sent to a group is received by that group's members—see the Directory. Sharing files once to groups, instead of individuals over time, simplifies personnel changes.

What groups am I in?

How do I join a group?

Ask someone already in a group to add you as a member. See: Add people to your group - Google Groups Help

How can I send from a group email address?

• Be a member of the group, confirm at groups.google.com

• Configure your email client to “send as”

  • Gmail

    • Send emails from a different address or alias - Gmail Help

      • For "Name", use your role (such as "Committee Chair ST77"), not your name

      • For "SMTP Server", use "smtp.gmail.com"; for "Username", use your Google Account

      • If your password fails (you use 2-Step Verification), use an app password

• • • Create a Gmail signature - Gmail Help

      • Create a default signature for your "send as" email address, such as:
        -- Dave Barker
        Committee Chair of Venturing Crew 77 at oakgrovescouting.org

      • In the Gmail mobile app, per-"send as" signatures are not available
