iCal not correct

I noticed Google Calendar not updating events that were modified at advancements.scouting.org .

The UI shows a change we made, moving Tuesday 31 Oct meeting to Monday 30 Oct (to accommodate Halloween)

Its iCal entry (as provided by advancements.scouting.org) show the update.

But my Google Calendar of that feed (add another calendar to Google Calendar using the iCal fee provided by advancements.scouting.org and use the resulting Google Calendar ical feed) shows the old Tuesday 31 Oct meeting.

Maybe because the DTSTAMP value of the advancements.scouting.org calendar isn’t being updated?

Thank you!

@DaveBarker

Did you paste the link copied from IA into the Google subscription or did you import the file you can download?

@DaveBarker - the subscription worked for us and we have updated our website g-cal insert to use it.

@edavignon - i did notice one interesting behavior of the ical. There are several months (November to March) where the time is off by an hour. Instead of 7pm it shows 8pm.

Look at scouting33.org then use the troop site
