There are a large, and constantly growing, number of web site containing valuable information about Scouting and Scouting activities. The links on this page will lead you to some of the better Scouting web sites that I have found. If you are looking for something in particular try using one of the search engines listed on the Search Engine Page.
Only sites that contain information of a practical or reference nature, directly connected to Scouting topics, are listed here. If you would like your unit's web site listed in a Scouting directory, please contact one of the fine web sites devoted to that purpose. If your web site has resources usable to other Scouters, sent me the information and I will list it here.
I try to keep these links current, and the links are believed to be accurate. However, due to the dynamic nature of the Internet, some are bound to become out of date. Any additions or corrections are welcomed, and may be sent to the Campmaster (steve at netwoods)
