SeattlePioneer Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I keep an eye on the websites for neighboring councils and sometimes their districts to see what they are up to. Sometimes I find ideas and activities I can use. Farther afield, sometimes I'll Google up Scout Councils in cities around the country, to see what they are doing, and often I'll check district website to see what districts are doing. Some are doing well, other poorly. I'm pleased to be able to say that few seem to be doing as well as my own Chief Seattle Council. http://www.seattlebsa.org/ So who has council websites that deserve a look?

Daped01 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Ours appears to be a standard template design, but has lots of information useful to me! http://www.nlcbsa.org/ Edited September 1, 2015 by Daped01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeattlePioneer Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 <<Photos from the inaugural session of our new STEAM Day Camp, TechLab: Oceans!>> This from the Capitol Area Council. STEAM presumably = Science, technology, engineering, ARTS and math. The arts advocates seem to be envious of the STEM idea, and are promoting the idea that they should be included in such program as well. I'll agree with that as soon as I see the Museum of Modern Art rename itself the Museum of Modern Arts and Sciences. Until then, I have NO sympathy for the arts establishment trying to latch on to someone else's program and ideas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have an engineering degree and 10+ patents, I took art classes in college and being creative is a plus in my STEM career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stosh Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The further down the road this BSA journey goes, the happier I am that I'm 65 years old and won't be able to "help out" anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA Scoutmaster Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Here we are in Orange County, CA: http://www.ocbsa.org/ It has a lot, but sometimes tough to find what you need. My son got a patch from your council at the last jamboree. Being from the east coast, it was very exotic for him! I think our council uses the same template as yours: http://www.cccbsa.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krampus Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I think our council is okay. The site is easy to use and stuff easy to find. Our adventure bases out west of us have some pretty unique adventures. The living history program, while not a sexy as Revolutionary War stuff, is pretty cool if you like western history. I think I have read a few of the people here are/were in to re-enacting; they'd love that program. http://www.longhorncouncil.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
