On March 8, 2010 Troop 804 gathered at Glenwood Presbyterian Church as always on Monday nights. Meetings are normally pretty ordinary and straight forward; we open with the Pledge of Allegiance, Scout Oath and Law, and the Cub Scout Promise. On this night however, things were a bit different.

On February 26th, 2010, most of the Troop 804 boys planned and held a camp out. This was no ordinary campout, though!

Hello scouts and families,
There have been some big changes with the Troop and Pack 804 website!
The best change is that we now have our own domain. That means that the website is no longer attached to the Eckhardts’ business website, www.biztaxpros.com
The new domain (website address) for the troop and pack is http://www.bsa804.com This address should be much easier to remember. The old address will forward to the new one for a little while, but you should update your bookmarks right away. I intend to make some big changes to the business website as well, and when I do, the old troop and pack address will no longer forward to the new one.
This means that my email address is also changed. The old one will work for a while, but if you use it you will get an automatic response reminding you of the change. My new address is scoutmaster@bsa804.com. I am sending from that address right now.
Many of you do not take advantage of the website, so I want to take a minute to let you know about what’s always been there, and what has changed. Please register with the website and leave some comments. The online community will not flourish without your support.
As in the past, the website has news and pictures of our events. These have been updated through the Blue and Gold Banquet.
There is still our calendar, which is powered by Google Calendar. If you use Google Calendar for your personal agenda, as I do, you can add the troop calendar to your own to keep you really informed about what you have going on.
The Show N Sell information is also still on the website, and it has been updated to reflect all information received through the last meeting.
Now for the new stuff:
There is now a chat page where we can chat with each other in real time.
There is a contact form which should make it much easier for boys interested in joining the troop or pack to find out more about us.
There is now a forum where we can plan meetings and camp outs and whatever else we want.
There is a link for the Patrol Leaders’ Council to submit troop meeting plans.
There is a ScoutLink page where we can chat in real time with scouts from all over the world. This chat room has people in it most of the time, day or night.
There is a webmail feature where responsible scouts can check their own bsa804.com email.
Links to official forms, websites and information have been added or updated.
Please take advantage of the website!

A good time was had by all at the Glenwood Presbyterian Church on September 7th, 2009. Cub Scouts gave up their normal meeting time to do some dirty work as a service project.
