So I built this website....

When my Oldest (C1) was a tiger cub and hubby was a Tiger Leader, his pack did not have a website..heck not many packs back then did. 

Well back when I had a life, pre kids, Oh that does not sound mean...we all had lives back then...did what we want, when we want where we wanted and with whom.  I love my kids and cant imagine life without them but sometimes.......

anyway...I used to be a programmer way back when...so I sat down and built my son's pack a website.  It was crude and painful but it worked.  Well, then my daughter became a Daisy and I her leader..Again, I built a site, this time basing it off of my sons site.  C1 became a BS, I built them a site....do you see the pattern.  I got tired of redoing the same thing over and over.  So...with a few modifications...I re-built one site, added a few extra extras tweaked it here and there and launched it.  I asked people I knew to take it for a test drive and break it. 

Soon, I began getting permission to post it on FB groups etc and got more people to play with it. People began making suggestions, I began building them. 

Originally, I offered it as donation only....sigh....Didn't work..  Remember, I am not looking to make money...but I have to pay my overhead :)  So I was forced to charge.  but...its for a really really good cause, so I charge a buck a month.  Hubby says I am crazy especially because I am not covering my costs yet...but oh well...I believe in time I will be.

Now, I am learning to market my awesome site!  Not because I want to make a ton of money, I mean how can I on $1.00 a month, but because I want every scout mom or ASM Widdow (like me) to be able to keep track of where her kid or kids go on certain days..I want people to be able to RSVP online for events so leaders dont have to call everyone in the den.  Things like that..

So ...wish me luck and spread the word!
