We hope you had an amazing holiday season and a brilliant start to the new year!
With everything we are hard at work on, we could really use some more help. What follows are some broad areas you might be able to jump in and help us.
Blog - write columns for our blog. This could include topics we suggest, our followers provide details for via our google forms, or you come up with on your own that respect the Scout Law.
Data Entry - this mostly relates to copy and to paste content from powwow books (with permission) into our database.
HTML Cleanup - this is mostly going through old content and fixing any HTML problems, removing attributes no longer needed in favor of the main CSS formatting the text, etc
SEO - doing an audit of the site and walking us through any changes that may help us get more organic search traffic and rank higher in the search engines.
Marketing - helping us find free ways to gain more exposure, to more Scouters, so that we can ultimately impact more Scouts and help make Scouting even better around the world.
Sales / Leads - helping us contact and ultimately obtain more sponsors to help cover the month to month costs of running the site. This probably includes improving our process for finding, contacting, and pitching potential sponsors.
Email Design - we are looking to improve the way our newsletters look, but because of the limitations of email clients, we can not use bootstrap. Thus we are looking for someone who can help put together an email design that has a number of different content types that will work with most modern email clients.
VLog - we are trying to launch a video blog that will range between ramblings about scouting, cover more in-depth details about various scout skills, share many tips that would help leaders, and much more. We are looking for guests, as well as needing help editing and other technical aspects of the vlog.
Linux Admin - looking for someone who can help with routine server admin tasks such as running weekly updates, creating ssh keys, ensuring the server is secure, managing docker apps, advising us on anything server related, etc. We are running Debian on two VPS servers each have 4 CPU's, 4 Gb ram, and 100gb drive space.
Advisors - we have a secret group on facebook made of only a few hand-selected Scouters who help advise on various business matters and decisions on what direction to take things with the site and newsletters. Usually, I just post a few messages in there, maybe once a month, and over the next day or two, everyone replies.
If you are interested and willing to volunteer in any of the above ways, or you have other skills you think may be useful to us. Please fill out this google form and let us know https://forms.gle/h86Q1VgTbqkygXS18

To call the adults in Troop 96 carnivores is a bit of an understatement. As in any youth-led troop, the Scouts in Troop 96 of the Northeast Illinois Council are on their own at mealtime. Scouts in each patrol plan the menu, shop for ingredients and prepare the meals. That leaves the adults to fend for themselves. And in Troop 96, the adults eat like royalty. The “adult patrol, ” to use its unofficial name, has a proud history of preparing delicious dishes you’d think would be too difficult for campsite cooking. Pork loin that’s both stuffed and wrapped with ......

Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement, once said: A week of camp life is worth six months of theoretical teaching in the meeting room. And BSA surveys agree, showing that a Scout who attends summer camp in his or her first year is three times more likely to stay in Scouting. Summer Camp provides a week of living the Scouting program! Being outdoors is a great teacher, inspiration, and a source of lifelong experiences for all Scouts. Join us and thousands of Scouts across the National Capital Area Council during 2020 as we celebrate 100 years of summer ......
