Web Site Purpose and Guidelines

A Troop web site can be a useful tool for sharing information, schedules, and ideas about the Scouting program and how it implements the mission of our chartering organization. 

The web site can support the Youth Leadership apsect of Scouting by giving the Scouts access to and responsibility for maintaining the information on the site.  The web site must also conform to safe scouting guidelines as defined by National and District policies and good old common sense.
