I wish I could assist you but 7PM PST is 9PM CST and I plan on getting some
shut eye starting about that time tonight. I think it is wonderful that you
are introducing your Scouts to the wonders of the Internet. It is a
wonderful place to meet people, interact with others, and find information.
To all you Webelos, learn this stuff now. In the coming years, the Internet
is going to become a major tool in your education, work, and social lives.
There is so much to learn from the internet and so many ways it can be used
to enhance your life. Make the most of it. OTOH (that Internet shorthand
for On the Other Hand), remember that the Internet is a tool not an escape!
Remember "Carpe Diem" (Sieze the Day). Don't lose yourself on the Internet!
There is much of life that cannot be experienced sitting at a computer.
As Scouts, there are many oppurtunities to savor. Don't miss them due to
playing on the Internet. Take advantage of getting to enjoy the great
outdoors, learning the benefits of serving others, and meeting new
challenges (i.e., canoeing down a rapids, rapelling down the side of a
mountain, exploring a cave). Scouting can be used to broaden your outlook
on life. Don't miss that chance!
Yours in Scouting,
