*** ETIQUETTE GUIDELINES ***

Before reading any further, please go to the newsgroup
news.announce.newusers and read the posting: Rules for posting
to Usenet.   That message describes some of the rules of conduct
on Usenet.  Posters to the rec.scouting* hierarchy are
expected to follow these rules.

Read also the rec.scouting.* FAQ #1 which contains
our charter and Etiquette guidelines specific to the
rec.scouting* hierarchy.

o  Please remember the scope of this newsgroup is to discuss
    PROGRAM topics related to scouting and US youth organization,
    *not* issues.  If you find that your discussion is going outside
    of this scope, please take it to another group or off-line.
    rec.scouting.issues is specifically setup to handle political
    issues related to scouting and guiding.  Please post controversial
    topics there.

o   In  short, rec.scouting.usa is for questions, and discussions about
     topics specific to the USA.  IT IS NOT A BSA ONLY GROUP!
     If your topic is not relevant to just the USA then use another group.
