City Scout Link goes electronic
For the last eighteen months supporters of Peterborough Scouting have been able to read their own news in depth in the City Scout Link and if you are patiently awaiting your next edition, well, sorry you will have to keep waiting. Alternatively you can get your fix of City Scout Link via its new electronic home, as the City Scout Link has gone all electronic and is now incorporated in the Peterborough Scouts Website. www.peterboroughscouts.org.uk
The decision to go all electronic has come after careful consideration and it also a reflection of Modern Scouting, and the team feels this is the way forward and can see its immense possibility and how it might develop.
We have several stories ready to go with, now all we need is more! So that we can develop and expand just like all the other on line news publications.
