  1. ***have to be honest....its an ad, but its the truth!**********

     

    I have three kids in scouting...Cub, Boy and Girl. It's next to impossible to keep track of all of the dates and events, and paperwork.

     

    They need websites!...so that is what I build them! I used to be a programmer back in the real world. :)

     

    I built these websites for any type of scouting organization to use.

    Completely secure, and follows ALL BSA and GSUSA website guidelines! A MUST!

     

    Control at your fingertips. No need for a programmer. Easy to use, Up and running in minutes!

     

    Your tools..

    Admin login

    Protect your site with a master login and pw.

    Upload forms

    pictures

    calendar

    Events

    Rosters(admin view only!)

    Advancements (Cub Scouts only)

    Mass email

    Events with RSVP feature

    and more...

     

    (FIRST MONTH FREE) There is a charge for this website. $1.00 a month. (FIRST MONTH FREE)

     

    I didn't want to charge at all, but I do have to cover my server costs.

    There is NO setup fee.

    NO CC required.

    No Cancellation fee.

     

    This is NOT to good to be true. I am a mom who build this for her own kids...I simply morphed it into something others can use. Please check it out!

  2. I'm afraid I do not have the ability do what you are asking. I do know that godaddy.com offers hosting at a very cheap price. If you did want to give me a try, I am sure we can come up with a template and modify to me your and other chapters needs.

  3. Websites can be a pain especially if they are built by a parent who then moves on! Been there done that.

     

    I created sites for my Cub, Boy and Girl Scout then melded them all into one.

     

    www.smdscouts.com

     

    I started out charging, but found I gave away more free sites as I couldn't turn anyone down because of size!

     

    So, free for all, not a free trial!

     

    Please check it out and let me know what you think!

  4. I am building an online advancement feature for my free scout website and was wondering what other people use. My husband's pack is very small so they dont use anything online.

     

    Right now, It works so that you click on your scouts name, and it takes you to a page with several tabs on it. The first tab shows the overall completion of achievements. Then you can tab down for more specific info and update when necessary. It then automatically updates the overall page.

     

    It all seems pretty straight forward, except for where the completion of one depends on the completion of one in another area. I have skipped that calculation for now.

     

    Do people have the need to print this information out also?

     

    Any thoughts, or suggestions you may have would be wonderful!

  5. I am currently building a advancement tracker for Cub Scouts.

     

    I have had almost 100 new clients this month! I am thrilled.

     

    FAQ - yes, you can have your own url and point it to your new site!

     

    This is the most frequently asked question :)

  6. Have gained over 50 members in the month of October alone! Please check it out. New features

    have been added,like the ability for parents to sign up their cell phone number and be texted with updates to arrival times or cancellations or whatever.

  7. I have launched a new scouting website. It fits Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Venture Crews.

     

    Best yet, Its FREE! No, not free trial, but FREE.

    I used to charge but found it impossible to tell groups that could not pay, that they could not have it, so I found myself giving away a ton of free sites. So, To heck with it, its free for all!

    It follows all Scouting guidelines, as there are no true 'rules'.

     

    I am the mom of a Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Girl Scout...so I know how hard it is to keep track of them, and yes, now I am running three different sites on my own system :) I built my original site to help me keep track of paperwork and events...then rebuilt to allow anyone to use it.

     

    It is Free! well...ok...here is the catch...if you want to use your own domain name, since i am not a server, my hosting company charges $15.00 a year for that. but its not me, its my hosting company.

  9. Just wanted to toss this out there...I created a website for my daughters service unit (and my boys cub and boy scout troops)

     

    I just recently turned it into something anyone could use. I follow scouting guidelines very strictly!

  10. How wonderful..Our camp has over 300 girls. Talk about stressful.

     

    We have done

    Knot just another camp (camping theme)

    Under the big top (circus)

    Water theme with fishing ( I cannot remember the name)

     

    We are doing amazing race this year! I am so excited! Swaps will be a pain but I have high hopes!

  11. Did everyone find a solution to this?

     

    Out of necessity and out of a need to keep track of my kids scouting activities, (oldest just received his arrow of light!!) I built a site that could be used by all three of my kids (they are each at a different level, scout type ie., gs also)

     

    www.smdscouts.com

     

    I offer nothing hidden! Heck, I dont even email you!

  12. Thats funny. They spam so much that they offer an explanation and an apology!

     

    Tell you what..I built www.smdscouts.com after my sons cub scout and then boy scout troops needed sites. I only build out of my own selfish need to keep track of them. Course, then my daughters GS troop needed one..So I created one stop shopping ;)

     

    www.carypack457.org is my sons old site. He just moved up so I am now populating their new BS site.
