Program Builder access, talkscouts.ca, and the Olympics

You're probably wondering what those three things have in common. Well, not a whole lot... Other than they are three things I have been meaning to write about for a while!

While I've been on the road visiting our Councils and meeting many of our members, I have continued to struggle with the blogging. But I shall keep working on it!

Program Builder Online: Please check it out. You can now create your own username and password -- you no longer need an MMS password to log in. The Program Builder is a great resource for leaders. And we welcome your contributions so it can be even better.

talkscouts.ca: Join the conversation! talkscouts.ca provides a discussion forum where our members can share their ideas. It's a place for collaboration and networking. Please visit, register and participate! There are lots of great discussions taking place already.

Olympics: I was pleased to learn recently that a fellow Scouter has been selected to carry the torch for part of its journey, on the way to the winter games in Vancouver. Wouldn't it be cool if Scouts and Scouters everywhere did this? There is a contest for it, and anyone can enter... Please share the link, and apply!

And, if any other members of Scouting win, please let us know. Imagine if Scouting members joined in along the route to support their fellow Scouts. I believe we need to be more visible in our communities, and this is one example of how that could be accomplished.

Until the next entry, good Scouting!
