thriftyscout 11 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I have been an ADL, ASM, and now SM for about 5 years. I started with the Troop when my son bridged. He is finishing up his Eagle project and merit badges. My own experience as a Scout was much shorter - AOL and about a year of Boy Scouts. I joined the forum recently to benefit from the experience and perspective of the virtual roundtable. Our troop has ranged from about 20 to 30 in the time I have been there (about 2/3 active). We recently recruited 6 new Scouts (No CS experience) and are looking at 15 Webelos bridging next month. This will take us to over 40 for the first time in my tenure. This is a great problem to have, but it is a challenge. I am also interested in sharing information regarding special needs Scouts (my son has autism). We have several special needs Scouts (autism, asperger's, down's syndrome, etc.) within our Troop and I am always looking for new ideas. I am also building a site called thrifty scout to suggest low cost options for equipping Scouts. I am seeing an increasing number of families struggling with costs and would like to help them. I am looking forward to participating. YIS, Chuck Link to post Share on other sites
clemlaw 55 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Welcome! Is your web site live yet? I'm notoriously cheap---I mean thrifty, so I probably have a few ideas! Link to post Share on other sites
thriftyscout 11 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 It is still kind of rough but it is located at: www.thriftyscout.yolasite.com Yola is a free site for building websites, fairly easy to use even for novices like myself.(This message has been edited by thriftyscout) Link to post Share on other sites
