*tap, tap* … Is this thing on?
OK, I’ll be honest. I’ve been slacking a great deal on this thing. For that, I apologize.
Life’s be super busy lately (I just graduated from college, for example) and Coosa Shows has been working hard to do its job at Lodge, Section and National levels.
You’ll see our work at ArrowCorps5, in the opening and closing gatherings at each location. You’ll find us on YouTube and you’ll find some of our ideas in lodges throughout the Order who are finding ways to bring their lodges into a “digital” era.
So here’s the plan.
If you’re reading this, I’m talking to you.
We’re trying to use this domain to create gathering place for creative minds in Lodges throughout the Order. We’re trying to create a think tank where people can polish ideas, abilities, and networks to the point that every lodge has people participating and that we’re all pushing each other to better promote Scouting and the Order.
This blog clearly is not achieving that goal. So I’m looking for ideas.
Would a forum do the trick? A public wiki, perhaps? I’m open to suggestions.
If you’re interested in helping lay the foundation for this, please email me or leave a comment on this entry and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

I think a combination of the above ideas would give Arrowmen around the country the best opportunity to collaborate on anything. I know I’d immediately benefit from such a network (I am in charge of the opening show for my section’s Conclave this year in August and need some ideas in case my first fails to pan out), and there’s bound to be many others throughout the country in the same predicament as me: who know how something is supposed to look as the end product, but cannot possibly get all the ends tied down (or get enough donations or money) during production to make the finished product match the ideal.
I’m also willing to donate some server space to continue the project (in case we want to host projects or project files, perhaps?), but will defer to the experts at Coosa to make the final decision on that.
In Brotherhood & Service,
