The Boy Scouts of America is one of the nation's largest and most prominent values-based youth development organizations. The BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.

For nearly a century, the BSA has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The Boy Scouts of America believes — and, through nearly a century of experience, knows — that helping youth is a key to building a more conscientious, responsible, and productive society.

Wiki Status Page

Hi Troop 27 parents and leaders.

This is the wiki status page. Eventually it will be empty, and disappear. But for now it shows the status of the wiki–what our plans are, and what is completed. Please help by doing one of the following:

contributing content to the wiki. Yes, you are an expert in something and our scouts need to know about it.
offering structural help. In particular: what belongs in the menu? the header? the footer? how about the color scheme? need more pictures? etc.
establishing website policy. Who gets to edit what pages? Should patrol pages be hidden from public viewing? etc… I will create a starting policy and we can go from there.
