After many hours of work this week (be sure to give Agata your sympathies), the pack website is up and running!
www.bsapack96.com (and www.bsapack96.org)
The website is set up as a “blog,” where people can post information about pack and den events. You (and any other scout parents) are welcome to register for a login. Den and pack leaders will be given permission to make and edit posts, but parents (and scouts) will only be able to leave comments. I’ll be screening all posts & comments before posting to make sure we don’t get anything inappropriate, so it’ll be a day or so before you’ll see your posts on the website.
To set up a login, click “Register” at the bottom right corner Please use a real name so I can figure out who you are!
For help posting comments, click Using this Site at the top of the page.
- When you first register, you won’t initially be able to make posts (only comments). Within a day or so, I’ll change your rights so you can make posts.
- When making a post, please choose the correct category (your den # or “pack events” so people will be able to find it).
- Initially, posts will be used as announcements for upcoming events. Once they have passed, however, feel free to change the post into a story about the event. If you email me some photos (preferably 10 or less), I can put one in your post & others in a comment.
- When posting information about kids, please use first name and last initial, instead of full names, for security reasons (i.e. John D. instead of John Doe)
- Only I can make additions to the calendar, so email calendar items to me.
- I would recommend against posting your email address on the website to reduce the amount of spam you receive.
- If you aren’t so tech-savvy, feel free to email me info from your den & I’ll post it for you until you can figure out the website.
I hope you like pack 96′s first introduction to the Web!
Happy surfing!

P.S. I tried to make the home page load up quickly. If anybody has dialup, please let me know if it’s slow!
