BSA Innovation Engine Built-in to HalfEagle
As previously discussed by the blogs included on HalfEagle, the BSA has a website for Scouters to share and vote for ideas to improve the Boy Scouts of America.
To support this effort, HalfEagle includes recently posted ideas with a special format to encourage voting. When you see the “VOTE” icon, make sure you click and cast your vote!
Update: Thanks to Dan from Scouting News for pointing out the BSA Innovation Engine is still “professionals only.” As noted in my comment below, HalfEagle will temporarily not show BSA Innovation Engine results to avoid frustrating our many volunteer readers.
The only problem is- its not open to the public yet. Only professionals with myBSA logins can post or vote on ideas. It is projected to be open to volunteers in 2009…

Hi. I appreciate the way you are bringing together the different scouting blogs into one site. I would like to submit mine for consideration, under the Boy Scouts section. Thanks! Have a great day in Scouting!

@Dan: Thanks for the heads up! I actually thought it was a problem with my password which kept me from signing in to it. (I have chronic troubles signing into the various scouting.org sites.)
Because most of HalfEagle’s readers are probably volunteers, I’ll go ahead and switch off the feature until it becomes public. Thanks again!

@Jeff: Thank you for submitting your site! It looks like you’ve been blogging for a little over a month now, but what you’ve already done looks great. I don’t know if I ever would have thought of making S’mores without a campfire.
You’ll find that I have added you to HalfEagle — keep up the good work! You may find the blog about how HalfEagle picks it’s blogs to be helpful as your blog evolves.
