Totally Agree with Brent on the great utility of the Soar Product.
We've used it for our Pack since 2007 (see http://atlanta631.mypack.us/), and then the Troop (with Pack Graduates) fired one up for the Troop (see http://atlanta631.mytroop.us/). Having the "same format" has been a big help "crossing over" those Webelos Parents.
The other great thing about this site is how much it has evolved from a great product in 2007 to an even more terrific product now.
Two key elements that have been rolled out in the last year:
The weekly "eBlast" that serves as a digest (but formatted) of new and upcoming events (cutting down on the ping-ping-ping of random emails zipping hither and yon).
The new Event Register (where a cool feature is seeing the totals rise as people sign up for events).
And having Paypal for the random events that have minor costs is terrific -- beats chasing down those who forgot to pay!
MyTroop Web Sites from SOAR are the BOMB!
