Pack 279 built this website to help current, new and future families in our Pack thrive in their Cub Scouting experience with us!
Our Pack 279 website is split into two sites. One is the PUBLIC SITE webpages and the other is the PRIVATE SITE webpages. To get access to the PRIVATE SITE you will need to be a current member of Pack 279 and get a login ID and password from the Pack's Webmaster. Just click on the
"Contact our Pack" link at the top center of this site to contact the Pack Webmaster.
Website Philosophy:
We purposely created this website to contain static (non-changing) general Cub Scouting information. This reduces the amount of time our volunteer Pack Webmaster has to maintain this website. Only Cub Scouting information that is unique or necessary to "new parents" in Cub Scout Pack 279 is typed out on this website. All other general scouting information is linked to sites like the official BSA's (Boy Scouts of America) websites. Also, our Pack 279’s Photo Gallery on the PRIVATE SITE side will have Pack pictures updates added by our Pack Photographer. Furthermore, any personal family pictures should
only be on the PRIVATE SITE side, which requires a login and is
not for the general public to view. Current and new Pack 279 Webmasters should keep
these philosophies in mind when maintaining this website in the future.
Information in this Website:
This PUBLIC SITE webpages has general information about Pack 279, Cub Scouting and how to join Pack 279. The PRIVATE SITE webpages has Pack Leadership and Chair information on how to run our Pack. The PRIVATE SITE webpages also contain our ongoing Pack 279's Photo Gallery. The PRIVATE SITE webpages does not contain any of our Leaders' or family contact information; see the use of
ScoutTrack's website below.
Information NOT in this Website:
Current Pack 279’s families need to log into
ScoutTrack's website to get all the specific and up-to-date Pack information. New families wanting to join Pack 279 will need to sign up at Rally Night. Parents will then be given access to both this website PRIVATE SITE side and
ScoutTrack.
All private family information on ScoutTrack's website should NOT be duplicated here on this general Pack 279's ScoutLander website; neither on the PUBLIC SITE webpages nor the PRIVATE SITE webpages. Pack 279 uses
ScoutTrack's website exclusively for the below specific information, records and actions:
