FREE ONLINE CALENDARS FOR PUSHMATAHA AREA COUNCIL UNITS
Would you like to offer the
scouts, leaders, and parents an online calendar with all your unit’s meetings,
trips, and events listed? Would you
like to have total control of your online calendar? What if you could have a calendar like that at no cost to your
unit, and no cost for the web hosting, and no advertising of any sort?
Our council’s website
committee can now provide just such a calendar to your scout unit. If you have a website, you can put a link
to your calendar on your site. If you
don’t have a website, you can still offer your unit an online calendar, and
your unit members can access it through the council website.
Maintaining the site
requires no programming skills. Anyone
who can use a computer well enough to send and receive email or use a search
engine can maintain your unit’s online calendar.
The council website uses the
exact same calendar now on our website. To see how the calendar looks and
feels, visit www.Pushmataha.org, and
choose the first menu option, “Calendar”.
