Wiki’s

admin — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 00:09:05 +0000

We have now created a wiki for each organization.

This can be a great tool to help share information. There is no point in new leaders having to learn everything from scratch. Share what you have learned and let them build on that.

If you can, please come to the scoutlife.us/wiki/ page and share with the world. We always welcome new content and ideas!

Hosted Domains

Do you currently have your own domain name, and your web site is hosted somewhere else?

Want to have it here for free at ScoutLife?

Not a problem. We have domain name processing. Sounds technical, but it is really easy. If you own TroopXYZ.com, it will show up just like that on ScoutLife!

Plus you get all the cool features we currently have and are rolling out. Best part yet, you wont have to lift a finger, we do the upgrades for you for free!

Easy web sites, fun features, keep your youth engaged in your program. That’s what we are all about here at ScoutLife!

What is ScoutLife?

admin — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 18:20:21 +0000

Over a year ago a bunch of Scouting leaders from all walks of life and a wide variety of job skills were discussing a better way to help youth based organizations communicate with their members. It was a fun conversation that lasted until the large campfire burned away.

What started out to be a simple idea has grown into something that is large and wonderful. Best of all, it is free for those organizations and their members. Even better than that, portions of the advertising proceeds will be donated to those organizations.

We have a lot of ideas, and new ones develop almost daily. We are scouters, we are parents and we want our children to have a successful experience with whatever they choose to do.

We are looking for programmers to help us finish the core product. Contact us and let us know how you can help.

ScoutLife is also looking for companies to partner with. If you can produce tshirts, patches, or are a printer of business items such as stationary, business cards, etc. please contact us.

Feel free to join us on facebook and twitter and we will keep you updated on out progress.
