2007-2008 Boy Scout Roundtable Guide online :)

[John-in-KC]

The Revolutionary Trails Council, from Utica NY, is one of the Councils which has joined the information age. They've posted the 2007-8 Boy Scout Roundtable Guide into their Resources site. KUDOS! to them for doing this; I've passed it on to my District Commissioner, a friend who is DC in another district, and my BS RT Commish:

First of all, thanks for the reference! I think BSA should do this with ALL their pubs. But the first thing I looked for was a copyright notice, and sure enough, it's on the last page (back cover). Has the BSA finally given permission to Scouters to reproduce their publications and pass them around? Is this considered "fair use"...someone on the forums once stated that we had permission to do this as long as we use the materials to further the movement and don't profit from it.

 

(I'm not a lawyer...I'm just asking the question)

The BSA rules are here:

This particular document has a catalog number of 18-942B. The hyphen indicates this is a "bin" item and can be locally reproduced and distributed.

the 2007-2008 Roundtable helps have been available on line through the BSA for quite awhile, the better part of a year now. After all they expire next month.

 

As Ed points out you can get the 2008-2009 as well as the 2009-2010 Roundtable Helps as well. These too have been on-line at the BSA site for quite a while.

 

The BSA continues to make make and more materials available on the official BSA websites, and more on-line resources are in the process of being available each month.

 

Rather than watch council websites youy will find new documents faster by keeping an eye on the national site as that is where they will first appear. Not all council webites will include the same information or the links at the same speed.
