* ScoutNet - A New Scouting Network
by Dave Tracewell
ScoutNet - Scouting Around the World
After many years on the FidoNet in the successful SCOUTER & SCOUTING
Echo conferences, Scouting via your modem is expanding! BOTH of these
great FidoNet conferences remain a valuable resource and means of com-
municating, and will continue to grow and be a vital part of Scouting
telecommunications, but in an World Wide effort to link the many dif-
ferent Scouting programs around the world, ScoutNet was formed and is
now serving hundreds of Scouts & Scouters from 15 different countries
on virtually every continent.
ScoutNet is the culmination of efforts by Scouters in the Netherlands,
Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, and the United States to
bring together Scouting programs from all countries into one area. It
will allow Scouts & Scouters from around the world to help each other,
share experiences, and keep current on the world's largest Youth
organization. In addition to the 24 Intl. Echo Mail conferences, Scout-
Net will have many Regional and Language specific conferences that will
deal with local issues. With millions of Scouts & Scouters world wide,
this new Scouting Network will really help promote friendship between
nations and the World Brotherhood of Scouting!
To join ScoutNet, you can freq the information file, SCOUTNET.ZIP from
any of the regional hubs listed below, or contact Dave Tracewell in
