We offer Interactive Scouting Groups for 50 States in America and 148 Countries that have Scouting. Our groups are a place where you can have discussions with other Scouts and Leaders, ask questions and find answers, Trade Scouting Items and Share Scouting News, Ideas and Information. You can join as many of our Scouting Groups as you like and it costs you nothing.

Here's the features each of our groups offer:

• Message Board Archive - where you can read and post Scouting messages. If you have items you would like to trade or you are looking for you can post a message about them. If you have a scouting question you can ask it. If you know the answer to someone's question you can answer it. You can post a message about anything scouting related on these message boards. Please tell our visitors about what you do in Scouting and what Scouting is like in your Country.

• Chat Room - a place where you can meet with other members of the group and make new friends. You can Text Chat (type words the old fashion way) or you can Voice Chat, like a phone call, by using a computer microphone and speakers like a speaker phone.

• Photo Storage Section - where each member can create their own online photo album. You can display your Scouting photos, patches and emblems here or even a picture of you in Scout uniform.

• Group Calendar - where you can add events you know of or would like to sponsor. If you would like to hold a chat night or a Trade-O-Ree with members put it on the calendar so other members know when to meet you in the chat room. If you know of any special Scouting events put them on the calendar so others can learn about them too.

• Links Web Page - members can add links to any Scouting related web site here, such as their Cub Scout Pack, Boy Scout Troop, Venturing Crew, their District or Council, or any Scouting web site that you enjoy.

• File Sharing Web Page - Members can upload and download Scouting related files to share with other members.

On each group's home page you will see the words "Join This Group!" Just click on these words to become a member of the group you are in. Only members of a group can post messages, view the files and photo section or use a groups's chat room, so join all the groups you like to gain full access. Remember, you can join as many of our Scouting Groups as you like and it costs you nothing.
