WELCOME  TO INDY VARSITY

I have logged many hours on the internet looking for ways to improve this site and make it more interesting and helpful.  When the  forum page becomes available you will have to register and be approved before you can share ideas, post questions and get responses form other leaders. I welcome any ideas to improve this site.

"In 1984, National created a new program for older boys called Varsity Scouts.  Varsity Scouts would be for boys 14-17 who would be organized into Varsity Scout Teams.  Many in scouting have be confused by this program with its use of sports terminology, leading many to think it nothing more then sports oriented form of scouting.  This lack of clear purpose in the minds of many scouters has limited this program.  It is also unclear whether the program is intended as a progression level for boys, with them being in Boy Scout Troops from 11 through 13, then joining a Varsity Scout Team at 14 and later joining an Explorer Post (now Venturing Crew).  Or is the program meant to attract boys who for whatever reason had never been Boy Scouts? Or is it both?" (used with permission from webmaster for senior scouting)

This is an unofficial scouting website. It was created as part of a Woodbadge ticket item to help increase awareness of Varsity Scouting and provide another resourse for anyone who visits the site. Espically those in the central part of Indiana (Crossroads of America Council)

The following files have been gathered from various sources. I would like to thank the leaders that have responded to my communications and to those leaders that have posted ideas on the internet. I would also like to thank Jim Parton & Matt Jarrard for their advice and help.  I am claiming no ownership of these documents or files, they are just ideas and suggestions to help provide a better program and more resources for anyone who visits.

Since this site is for helping to educate and inform leaders about Varsity Scouting, I welcome any suggestions or ideas that you have and if you have any suggestions or anything you would like posted please contact me, see contact us link at the top.

On the gallery page, it will allow you to post pictures and I will recieve and email to check the pictures and after approval they will appear on the site.
