:rocket: Introducing the Scouting America Tech Hub!

Ever wondered what’s happening behind the scenes with Scouting’s technology (ScoutBook, BeAScout, My.Scouting) and beyond? Now you can find out in one place.

The new Tech Hub ( https://techhub.scouting.org/) is the official home for Scouting America’s technology direction, straight from the National IT Team and Technology Advisory Committee.

You’ll find:

:clipboard: Master Project Plan – see what’s being built and when

:red_question_mark: FAQs – answers to the questions volunteers and families ask most about technology directions and plans

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: BeAScout Redesign – updates on the BeAScout.org and online registration overhaul

:green_circle: System Status – check for outages before you panic-refresh

:speech_balloon: Discussion Forum – ask questions and talk shop with other Scouters

Whether you’re interested in the evolution of Scouting tech, curious how your information is managed, or someone who just wants the roadmap, this hub was built for you.

This is just the beginning. The Tech Hub is part of an ongoing effort to keep the Scouting community informed and connected as our technology evolves. More updates, resources, and behind-the-scenes information are on the way. Bookmark it now so you don’t miss what’s next!

Hi @GraemePayne ,

I noticed in the FAQ it says: “If you are a technology professional interested in contributing to Scouting’s technology mission, reach out through the contact information provided on this hub.”

As a Software Engineer, and Cub Scout leader, I’m very interested in supporting Scouting America’s technology mission but looking over the hub I can’t find the contact information the FAQ references (the Contact Us link on the bottom of the page simply leads to the main scouting.org contact page which only provides a physical address and press inquiry email for the national organization.

Especially since you’re the chair of the TAC I was hoping you could provide the contact information for those of us who would like to get invoved (wether that be in a advisory or more hands on keyboard capacity).

Thanks!
