BeAScout
the online Google Map to Scouting
 BeAScout, the online Google Maps application to help parents find Scout units for their children in any zip code WORKS! 35 families discovered units through BeAScout in Wisconsin River District. This is a very powerful tool; but, it needs unit leaders to populate their "pin" with unit contact information. A step-by-step guide for unit leaders can be found on the council membership page (link: http://glaciersedge.org/2010/08/beascout/). Check out this powerful tool at https://beascout.scouting.org/
