CoolCubs.com Cub Scout Pack websites
CoolCubs is a simple to use Cub Scout Pack website building tool that helps even the most inexperienced adult build a powerful, BSA compliant website that keeps youth protection in mind. Cub Scout packs tend be large, and managing the details of each den and scout can become a challenge. Building a website that provides ample information about the entire pack and each den can be daunting. Maintaining it from week-to-week can be impossible for a volunteer web-dad who may be involved only in his son's den. CoolCubs eliminates these issues by offering individual den areas that can be maintained by their respective den leaders while pack leadership maintains the overall pack area of the website.

ScoutLodge.com Boy Scout Troop websites
ScoutLodge does for Boy Scout troops what CoolCubs does for packs. With all the same pack-to-parent communication features and youth protection, it meets the needs of Boy Scout troops and continues to follow BSA guidelines for safe and effective scouting unit websites.

GirlScoutPages.com Girl Scout Troop websites
GirlScoutPages was designed to meet the unique needs of Girl Scout troops, which are subdivided by grade level, and whose organizational roles are much different than our BSA-compliant websites. GirlScoutPages contains all of our troop-to-parent communication features and follows the same youth protection principles we employ in all of our youth-based systems.

ExploredTrail.com Venturing Crew websites
ExploredTrail tackles the needs of Venturing crews. It treats each crew as a whole unit, without subdividing it into smaller parts. Maintaining a crew website is a breeze, and you can rely on the same youth protection strategies that we employ in all of our youth-based sites.

ExplorerPosts.com Explorer Post websites
ExplorerPosts is a simple to use Explorer Post website building tool that helps even the most inexperienced user build a powerful website that's tailored to your post's career field. After a short few minutes, your ExplorerPost website will offer all the communication and security benefits of our scouting-based websites.

We keep Youth Protection in Mind
All of this is done in an environment that is password protected and has BSA Youth Protection guidelines in mind. We have found many Scouting groups use social media such as Facebook, Twitter and other services. The problem with these is that they give too much detail to the general public about meeting times, endangering children. In addition, Scouting units that singularly use an Internet based communication vehicle ultimately alienate some families that do not use the Internet or are not members of the subject social network service. ScoutLodge not only uses the Internet but also will mix in more basic forms of communication such as US Mail, telephone, newsletter and text messaging making sure all communication channels are covered. Successful Troop leaders all agree that clear, well organized multi-level communication is key to running a successful program.
