Scouts, Scouters and Parents – We hope you are having a great Summer Break.

UPDATES
A few updates were recently made to the website. The new Annual Medical, Adult Application, Scout Application and Unit Transfer forms were added. The 2010 Raven Knob Leader Guide was also added – a great resource for any and all going to camp.

SUMMER CAMP
The second payment was due last week. The third and final payment is due soon. Also, you MUST have the new Annual Medical Form completed and signed by a doctor BEFORE Summer Camp. No form, no camp for you!

CAMPING SIGN-UPS
Adults – Summer camp needs another adult and we always need more adults for weekend camping trips.
Scouts – Check out the calendar and get your names on the lists for the great trips you planned.

Mobile Access
If you tried to access BSA110.com on your mobile device last week and it did not work, please try it again. There is an updated plugin installed that reformats the site for most mobile devices (Android, BlackBerry, Blazer, Cellphone, iPhone, iPod, Nintendo Wii, Nokia, Opera Mini, Palm, PlayStation Portable, SonyEricsson, SymbianOS, WebOS, WindowsCE, WinWAP, etc.).

Custom Search
There is a new search tool installed on the “Troop Resources” page. This tool will search numerous BSA-related sites at once for any search term you enter. The sites included in the search are: BoysLife.org, BSA110.com, Echockotee.org, Elemukulek.org, Main.OA-BSA.org, MeritBadge.org/wiki, NorthFloridaCouncil, Scouting.org, ScoutingMagazine.org, ScoutStuff.org, Southern.OA-BSA.org, USScouts.org. If you know of others that should be included please email the Webmaster.

Try out both new features today!

Please visit BSA110.com on your mobile device and report your experience to the webmaster. Over the weekend a new plugin was installed that reformats the site for mobile, web-enabled devices. The current layout is a bit wonky but will improve with your input.

The current Webmaster wants to find a “Webmaster In Training.”  Over the next six to twelve months this person will learn valueable Web skills including: maintaining a website, managing regular communications goals, WordPress website management tools and few Google-based web apps.  If you have a keen interest in the Web and in helping BSA110.com continue its mission as a valuable troop resource, please fill out the following form.

North Florida Council
The council just completed a major re-design of its website. Utilizing input from Scout volunteers the site’s navigability and available information was greatly improved. This is a work-in-progress so the council welcomes your feedback.

RSS feeds for “Upcoming Events” and “News” were added. By subscribing to theses feeds you receive notification when the council homepage is updated. You can also subscribe to the “E-List” an email update from council. See the council’s website for details.

DON’T PANIC! You will still find us at bsa110.com… only the look and feel of the site will change. The switch was prompted by changes in the way our site is currently hosted. Some cool new features are a nice benefit of the change. Stay tuned!
