Rules and Guidelines for Patrol Pages

Here are some general guidelines for information to be posted on your patrol pages. If you have any questions, just send an E-mail to your webmaster.

Make sure you have your parent's OK to use the computer to access information on the web!
Do not use a scout's full name. First name or first name + last name initial is OK.
Please use the Troop 409 E-mail when submitting information to be posted on the patrol page. The webmaster will post the information after reviewing it.
Get ideas from your patrol on what to post. Remember ... this is your patrol page. The page content should be discussed at troop meetings so you can all reach a consensus on what to include. Try to get input and suggestions from your entire patrol.
So ... what should you put on your Patrol Page? Here are a few suggestions:
- A list of patrol members (first names and last initial ONLY), identifying the PL and APL.
- A picture or drawing of your patrol flag.
- Patrol yell, slogan, etc.
- Pictures of your patrol members during scout related activities (not too many, maybe two or three at most).
- Links to cool scouting or scouting related websites.
- Misc. clipart to "jazz up" your patrol page.
- Just about any information that the PL and APL would like to share with the rest of the patrol.
If you like, you can use Word to construct the page (one page only for starters) then send the Word doc to the webmaster for submission to the website.
Check the requirements for Communications and/or Computers merit badges, and with the merit badge counselor. Some requirements may apply if you develop a patrol page.
Have Fun! Be Creative!
Keep in mind that your current webmaster is a novice when it comes to websites. Just remember ... keep it simple :>}
