The Troop will provide the tents, cooking equipment.
The Scout will bring his enthusiasm, thirst for knowledge, a positive attitude, and the following:
1. Sleeping bag / pad – if you don’t have a warm bag, please let us know- we can see what we can do.
2. Changes of clothes; socks, pants, long shirt
3. Appropriate footwear. (sandals, flip flops, and Crocs do nicely at home or at the beach, not so much for hiking in, potentially, moist conditions).

Notice: Site is getting a ‘small’ ‘Makeover’

March 28, 2012 in Uncategorized

I will be tweaking the layout of the site a little over the course of the next week.

Some of the changes:

  • Pack 22 & Pack 656 pages added to nav bar
  • Groups and Members pages removed from nav bar
  • Activity is no longer a drop-down item
  • Nav bar items to activities and photos pages that are over 5 years old have been removed (can still be accessed from the activities and photos main pages)
  • RSS reader on Sharing and Feeds pages
  • Added forgotten 2010 –> 2011 Activities page

Some changes in the works:

  • Updating pages of activities
  • Adding pages for photos
  • Adding Wishlist page
  • Adding Sitemap page
  • Inventory of Library and Equipment

Some things that would help me do this quicker:

  • If I got photos of any events that I currently do not have photos for
  • If our Historian worked with the Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader, and ex-Historian(s) to get photos of events that currently are lacking photos
  • If people wanted to check the site for imperfections and errors/mistakes

Some things that Mr. Dickhaut and I are working on already (doesn’t mean you can’t still help with):

  • Getting me the wishlist
  • Getting me a copy of the inventory
  • Getting me the photos he has
    • Another quick thing, I have noticed lack of site use. It would be nice if people actually used the site, and it is more powerful than email. To start, you could comment on things you would like to be different on the site below.

    Thanks for reading (and hopefully helping me), Christian
