WORKSHOP PART 3

Section 3 -- Scouting Related FTP Sites  

FTP Sites

Scouting material for both Scouts and leaders, including campfire songs, games, history, world news, and unit administration information can be found at the following File Transfer Protocal (FTP) sites:

America Online 	ftp://users.aol.com/bcsoft/scouting/inpowwow
BSA Requirements Help Win31	ftp://indian.dc.lsoft.com/home/pub/scout/SL31.zip
BSA Requirements Help Win95	ftp://indian.dc.lsoft.com/home/pub/scout/SL95.zip

MIT	rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-group/news.answers/scouting

Scouting Front Door	ftp://ftp.hiwaay.net/hyper/Scouts/
SETON	SETON.COR.NET/pub/scouts
US NET 	FTP.US.NET/PUB/SCOUT
Files stored at pluto.utdallas.edu can also be accessed by Gopher or WWW.   Each FTP site has its own directory structure and hundreds of useful files.  Remember that part of the fun is figuring out where to get what information. If you need some help finding things, two great resources are SCOUTS-L and E-SCOUTS. Both discussion groups have dedicated Scouters with much more Internet experience than most of us, who are more than willing to give you helpful information on which file contains what information and  how to call up that information.

Goodies:

ScoutWare 1.0 for Windows is now available for download via anonymous FTPfrom ftp.us.net/pub/scout and the file name is scoutw.exe.
