Hey, Wacky Scouters! What a blessed day to receive this week's issue of the InsaneScouter’s Weekly Newsletter.
Did you know why I called the site InsaneScouter? It was a playful pun like when you watch a kid do something silly or stupid and mutter that is “insane”. The wacky youthful spirit of the Scouts.
I would also like to take a moment to thank some of our sponsors for their ongoing support of InsaneScouter!

When it comes to the Scout Law, last is certainly not least. Being “reverent” is a year-round part of a Scout’s life, but there’s one time each year when the connection between Scouting and faith takes on even more significance. It’s Scout Sunday, held every February. The annual celebration gives Scouts a highly visible way to show their appreciation for their faith-based chartered organization. On Scout Sunday, at places of worship across the country, Scouts wear their uniforms to worship services. Sometimes they’ll help with the service by conducting a flag ceremony, collecting the offering plate or reading scripture. Other times ......

But after browsing hundreds of unit websites, I’ve come up with a list of 10 that do it really well. Turns out the recipe for a great site is pretty simple: a clean, photo-forward design with information that’s easy to find and intelligently organized. When you pair a great website with Scoutbook, the BSA’s free app for tracking unit advancement, you’ll have your ......
