Hi All,
Sorry for sort of spamming the list ...
I would like to take a quick moment to let you all know that I am
actively working InsaneScouter, first time in roughly two years. I am
working with a lawyer who will hopefully help me form InsaneScouter into
some kind of non-profit charity or foundation as well as find operating
funds. As time allows there will be design changes to the site mostly
relating to content & layout. If you would like to know more of what is
up please feel free to email me, as I do not want to waste anyones time
rambling on...
Also if you would like to help I could use help with the following
specific tasks:
- Newsletter refer below
- Website - help update the layout and content - will involve html work
- There are other ways you could help including business related
tasks and LAMP Coding (Linux Apache MySQL PHP)

Scouting survives: Even in high-tech age, youths learn to 'Be prepared'

TRI-STATE - These are a few of their favorite things: Cell phones and
cookies, iPods and pop-up tents, video games and wilderness badges.
Seeing teenagers - and children even younger - talking or sending text
messages on cell phones, fiddling with mp3 music players and playing
video games are common sights.
Girl Scouting and Boy Scouting might almost seem pass, given the
associated images of camping, surviving in the wilderness and sleeping
in wooden cabins at camp. But it's not antiquated and is just as
relevant, if not more so, today as in the past, local Scouting
officials say.
Anastasia Broadus, 13, of Hagerstown, admitted that when she first
joined Girl Scouts six years ago she wasn't too keen on "the outdoorsy
stuff."
Now, though, she said she likes sleeping in a tent - even without her
digital music player and computer.

Second Drowning at ACE Adventure Center on Gauley River May Challenge
West Virginia's Whitewater Responsibility Act.
West Virginia's limit of liability for whitewater rafting accidents
and deaths may be challenged after ACE Adventure Center's second
drowning on the Gauley River. The body of Neville Williams, 67, of St.
Michaels, MD was recovered a day after the drowning this June on the
Upper Gauley River in West Virginia.
Mr. Williams had been rafting with 14 other individuals, that included
a scout group, when he apparently fell out of the raft on a Class V
rapid called Iron Ring and was pinned under a rock know as Woodstock...

Scouts ever evolving

Learning how to use a vacuum cleaner and distinguish between three cuts
of meat earned a Girl Scout the Matron Housekeeper badge in 1913.
Pledging to offer her bicycle to the government in case of need earned
her the Cyclist badge in 1920.
And sending at least 50 letters per minute using Morse code in the
1920s pinned a Signaler badge on her green sash.
"Now they're typing messages on their IMs," said Julie Lineberry, a
42-year Scout and chairman of the history and archives committee of the
Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital (GSCNC). And they're earning
badges named Ms. Fix-It, Highway to Health, Consumer Power and Walking
for Fitness.
Girl Scouting turns 95 next year. Its badges have changed, its uniforms
have changed and the ethnic makeup of its troops has changed.

A history of Girl Scouting in America

Inspired by the Boy Scouts, who had been founded in America in 1910,
and British Girl Guides program created the same year, Juliette
"Daisy" Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout Troop in the
nation on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Ga.
She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop
physically, mentally and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls
out of isolated home environments and into community service and the
open air, her Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping
trips, learned how to tell time by the stars and studied first aid.
Within a few years, her dream for a girl-centered organization was
realized when on June 10, 1915 the organization was incorporated as
Girl Scouts Inc. under the laws of the District of Columbia.
