National
Adds "MyScouting"
Portal for Scouters
"MyScouting" will be the portal for our members that will provide access
to the following resources:
E-Learning
The E-Learning Course Management System provides a selection of courses for adult
volunteers that may be taken for credit. E-learning will be integrated into each
member's account.
Rechartering
Internet Rechartering is our Web-based system for annual unit renewal. It is
available to Traditional units in the Grand Teton Council. Instead of a link
for Internet Recharter, MyScouting will be the link to do your Internet
Recharter
process in the year 2008
Advancement
Internet Advancement is a Web-based system for units to submit youth member ranks
and awards. It is available to all units in the Grand Teton Council. Instead
of a link just for Internet Advancment, MyScouting will be the link in the near
future.
My Account
Members will have direct access to their account data, enabling them to update
or make corrections at any
time to keep our records accurate.
Create your account here: http://www.scouting.org/nav/enter.

... And More!
After the initial launch of the "MyScouting" portal, we will continue
to work on additional applications and services that will support and enhance
our members as they administer and experience the Scouting program.
Tour Permit Applications
In the future, Adult leaders will be able to apply for tour permits that will
automate the approval process and provide for prompt electronic delivery of approved
permits. The applicant will need to provide detailed information about tour destination;
dates; itinerary; participation and leadership; transportation plans (including
vehicle information, drivers' license numbers, and insurance coverage); and the
training certifications for Youth Protection and any other course needed for
the tour.

and keep youth informed and actively engaged
in understanding the key elements of personal
safety and protection.

First

to use of the Internet. Describe a cyberbully and how
