AdvanceOn Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Okay, I know many of you will jump right in saying "yes" to that question but what I'm really trying to find out is if anyone knows national's stance on district websites. I was talking to a DE from another council about our district starting a website and he said, "your DE should know better than to set up a district website, only council is allowed to have one." Well, I think a district website is a great idea but I also prefer to follow the rules. So, anyone have a reference for this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob White Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 The District may have a website with Councils approval. Remember the district is a geographical subdivison of the council. The council is the legal entity. Your Council has Web guidelines from national that must be followed. Bob White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Here is a council policy in writing. here is the link www.threefirescouncil.org This document is the Three Fires Councils standards & guidelines adapted from the BSAs national guidelines. This document is effective 3/27/2002 and supersedes all pervious website guidelines for the Council. Districts can develop their own Internet website as long they observe the rules and regulations of the BSA. The Council has a standing website committee consisting of volunteers and advised by the Council Business Manager. This committee will review all district websites, and unit websites through the district, for compliance with these standards. Where this document does not make a specific statement or answer a question, refer to the national guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fethe Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 On a related note - Does Scouter.com support district websites? Our DE was expressing interest in building a site, and I offered to do the work, and suggested Scouter.com as a host. Is this allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
