Cub Scouts from Lake Carmel Pack 1 gathered at Veteran’s Memorial Park in Carmel on Earth Day (April 22) to plant trees as part of a conservation project to mark the Pack’s 50th anniversary. The Scouts practice the policy of Leave No Trace, which teaches scouts to leave only footprints behind and to preserve and protect nature. Lake Carmel Pack 1 is part of the Westchester-Putnam Council of the Boy Scouts of America and sponsored by the Lake Carmel Fire Department. Go to www.lakecarmelpack1.org for more information.

New Features all around!!

New profile fields so that you can share more about yourself and get to know others in the pack. I have implemented an automatic event reminder system for the site. It is still in its final testing phase so please report any bug. All active members will receive a weekly email with a list of the following weeks items so that you do not miss out on them. they will be delivered every Friday. All Den meetings in th event calendar must follow the new layout. All den meetings must have their subject as such. "Meeting: Den # RANK" You can put anything you want after that. for Example "Meeting: Den 5 Wolves - First Aid Training" This will allow for the den meeting automatic reminder to send to only that den 3 days prior to any of your dens meetings. Leaders will receive the same kind of emails regarding our meetings.

As always if you have any ideas to make the site or pack work more efficiently, please pass them on.

I have programmed a new event registration for the site. The old one required way too much human interaction creating 'sessions' for event registrations to be collected. This new feature will automatically generate a registration form for each event. This new form will render the old 'manual registration entry tool' for leaders irrelavent until it can be re-purposed to work with the new registration. I am confident tha this new tool will make it much more seamless going forward. Also since I hand programmed it myself it will allow for many new feature add ons down the road.

 Also a setting was added to user profiles to set them as Inactive members of the pack. They will still be able to log on but will not be considered part of the active pack for pack lists and other features.
