Scouting newsgroups

Newsgroups rec.scouting.*

Did you know that you can read newsgroups using a WWW browser ? (provided everything is set up in the right way; the news will still come from your local news host, not from the machine containing this document).

This is the international rec.scouting.* newsgroup hierarchy:

rec.scouting.misc
General and international guiding and scouting topics. International
rec.scouting.guide+girl
Guiding and girl scout organizations
rec.scouting.issues
Issues related to scouting policy [especially BSA policy]
rec.scouting.usa
USA specific scouting and guiding topics

Global ScoutNet

The newsgroups of the Global ScoutNet:: See news.scoutnet.org

Other newsgroups

Global ScoutNet has a a href="http://news.scoutnet.org/">listing of newsgroups, probably better kept up-to-date than this one.
Another international newsgroup:: alt.scouting
In Australia:: aus.org.scouting
In Canada:: can.scout-guide
In Chile:: chile.scout
In Germany:: de.soc.jugendarbeit; fido.ger.pfadfinder; (I gues these have mover to news.scoutnet.de but I'm not quite sure)
In Italy:: it.sociale.scout
In the Netherlands:: See news.scoutnet.nl for description, and index of newsgroups
In Norway:: no.speider
In Sweden:: se.organisation.scouting
In Taiwan:: tw.bbs.rec.scouting
In the United Kingdom:: uk.rec.scouting
In the United States of America:: us.rec.scouting

Once again : if you cannot reach any of these newsgroups, it is not my fault. News always comes from your local news host, so in case of problems, either your local news host does not carry this group (complain to the administrator of the news host) or your www browser is not configured to contact the right news server (ask your local system guru).
