Scouting leaders, as well as leaders of other youth organizations, use this area to trade tips and news and discuss issues from the role of religion in scouting to scouting's own ceremonies to the business and political matters involved in running scout troops and councils. Conversation is generally polite and businesslike, but by no means staid. Some issues, such as the need to sell campsites, touch strong passions and participants are by no means averse to letting the depth of their feelings show. Most interaction takes place on the bulletin boards although there are two chat areas shared with other forums where scheduled themes chats are held. Spontaneous chats are possible but rare. - E.L.
