Welcome to uk.rec.scouting (URS) the newsgroup for discussion of all aspects of
UK Scouting and Guiding for boys, girls, Leaders and anyone else with an active
interest in promoting the Scouting and Guiding ideals.
As a considerate Internet user, before you post anything to this newsgroup, we
ask that you read the full FAQ document which is posted here at the beginning of
each month. It is also available at:
http://www.drabble.me.uk/usenet/urs-faq.shtml
The FAQ explains what the newsgroup is for, answers Frequently Asked Questions,
describes some of the guidelines and etiquette for posting here and shows the
official charter for the group.
This newsgroup, by charter (see FAQ part 2) and in spite of its name, is open
for the discussion of both Guiding and Scouting, centred on the UK. It covers
programme activities, administration, equipment, etc. and is used to solicit
advice and opinion from other members on what to do in certain situations. It
is also used to generally seek and provide support and encouragement with
respect to Scouting and Guiding in the UK and its associated dependencies.
