Website (7/15/04)
The Troop website layout is almost complete!!  There are many items that I would like to see included in the site, so I have started a "to do" list in one of the Discussions within the site....feel free to add any ideas or wishes that you have at the Website To Do Discussion (you will have to be registered to add data).  Since the site is interactive, you will be required to use your logon account in some areas, such as the "members only area" or when you edit documents or lists.  You should have already received an invitation with your account information.  If not, please send a request and I will get the information to you.  Enjoy your website....and happy surfing.

Tips For Website General Use (7/15/04)
   Please respond to the Privacy Survey to let us know what kind of information you want posted about you and
      your scout.  No personal info (pictures, etc.) will be posted to the "Public area" unless it has been previously
      authorized by you via the Privacy Survey.
   Once you have logged on to the site, you will stay authenticated until you close your browser window.
   Remember to close your browser window if you are accessing the website from a public area (for the above
     reason).
   In order for Web Subscriptions to work your email address must be current in your personal information at
     whichever site you are requesting them (Public site or Members Only site).
   You will always be able to edit or delete any information you have posted in the interactive areas.
   You will notice an "export" link in many areas of the site.  If you are using Office XP, you will be able to export
      the data you are viewing to an Excel spreadsheet to save on your local machine.
   In the "Shared Docs" area you can create a new Word document to share by simply clicking "New Document".
   In the "Shared Docs" area, when you click on a file,  you will be prompted to either open (run from current
      location) or save the file.  Some files you may only want to view or run.....so click open and the file will be run
      on the server.  I have put file called NIST in the Shared Docs as an example.  Click on this this file and then
      click "Open" or "Run from current location" (depending on your web browser).  You will be able to synchronize
      your computer clock with the atomic clocks without installing the application.

Summer Camp (06/20/05)
Summer camp at Pirtle was a hit ! !   Although the weather was as warm as you would imagine,  the Scouts and Leaders had a great time.  Most Scouts earned three or more merit badges and had fun doing it.  The Troop won several unit awards including Honor Troop, Best Troop Spirit and Best Camp Gate.  We also had several scouts that won individual awards/medals.  Congratulations Scot, Elias, Eric, Eli, William and the Troop as a whole.

This year the Leaders were also given an opportunity for training.  All leaders caught up on training they were lacking or refreshed their previous training.

Check out the Summer Camp Photos in the Photo Gallery.

 

Winter Camp (11/26/05)
Winter Camp is less than a month away (Dec 26-31)!!  This year we go to the Bay Area Council's Camp Karankawa near Bay City, Texas.  It should be a great camp.  Last year they had snow.....who knows maybe this year also.
