Discussion Groups and Lists
The USSSP hosts some 11 electronic mail distribution discussion groups, ranging in topics from programming (Cub Scouting, Venturing) to program support (Philmont, Jamborees, and Commissioners). There is also a USSSP discussion group called "Embers" which offer reflection, support and inspiration to volunteers and parents.
Additionally, the electronic mail discussion group which started "electronic Scouting" in 1989—the Scouts-L youth discussion electronic mailing list co-hosted by Jon Eidson, Kyna Hendra and Mike Walton—is also a component of the USSSP's outreach to parents, volunteers and professionals in the United States and around the world.

To all the lists of Clay!”
