Web
Sites
I found out from my
local Internet Guru, the organist at my church, whose day job is a web
designer and who runs a hosting service and such, that
.us domains are on sale from those
who control those things. My pack registered
www.cubpack480.us for five years for under $30. I think that was a
bargain. John, also, got us a domain for our church (but there is no web site
yet to see).
Anyway, why I bring this
up is I think .us extensions for
Cub Packs, Boy Scout Troops and Venturing Crews sounds really neat and right
now they are a bargain. So maybe you want to make the big leap and register a
new site for your unit.
This looks like a really
good all-purpose Scouting site -
http://www.scoutorama.com/ . Over 200 songs and lots of Pinewood Derby
hints.
For those of you who
can’t get enough info on Pinewood Derby cars - Here is the home page of the
Pinewood Derby Web Ring-
http://t.webring.com/hub?sid=&ring=pwd&id=&hub
And of course there is
“The Pope’s Place,” the web site run by Barb and Stan Pope which has extensive
Pinewood Derby hints and other Scouting stuff including a picture of their
minivan being carried away with a failed alternator while on its way to the
Philmont Training Center
