   Oops! I accidentally covered Jim Speir's page both in issue 1 and issue 2.
   Sorry.

   I have also included a new feature with this issue.  Whenever  possible  I
   try  to archive also some reference material. That mostly means that I put
   available the original announcements of sites that have appeared  on  news
   or  mailing  lists.  To  retrieve  those  references send mail to majordo-
   mo@www.partio.fi. To the body of the message write:
     get sdigest ref1-3-1.txt
   where the first number is the year of Scouting Digest,  second  the  issue
   number  and the third is the number of the reference. References are stan-
   dard ASCII text.

   In this issue:
    - What's New on the Internet?
    - Cybertent (Ian Webb <iwebb@cs.uct.ac.za>)
    - Scouting Digest Info
      (unchanged since 13th of November, 1995)

   From: Ian Webb <iwebb@cs.uct.ac.za>
   To: sdigest-editor@scout.nixu.fi
   Subject: Cybertent

   I'd like to announce the Cybertent, a Scouting-on-the-Internet event based
   in Cape Town, South Africa on 9 December.  The  Cybertent  consists  of  6
   computers  linked to the Internet from a beachfront site, during the Scout

   We will be encouraging Scouts and visitors  to  explore  Scouting  on  the
   World-Wide Web, use email, read news and take part in IRC.

   Any Scouts who are on the Internet on 9 December are invited to join us by
   visiting         our         Cybertent         web         page         at

   Yours in CyberScouting, Ian.

                            What is Scouting Digest?


   This information is unchanged since 13th of November, 1995.

   Scouting  Digest  is  a  weekly  (whenever possibly) published ezine about
   Scouting on the Internet and other computer networks. Mostly it's intended
   to gather into one place all the announcements for new sites and resources
   on various newsgroups and mailing lists.

   Scouting Digest may later come to include also longer  articles,  but  for
   now it's only to provide pointers for interesting sites.

   Please,  feel  free  to  send comments & critique about Scouting Digest to
   Tuomas Toivonen, <sdigest-editor@www.partio.fi>. Announcements  and  arti-
   cles are also welcome and likely to be published.

   Scouting  Digest can be found at (I recommend the Scoutnet UK site because
   it carries 'htmlized' version of the zine):

     http://www.livjm.ac.uk/scoutnet/digest/welcome.htm
     http://www.partio.fi/ScoutingDigest/
     ftp://www.partio.fi/pub/ScoutingDigest/
     rec.scouting, uk.rec.scouting, can.scout-guide

   Alternatively, you can get Scouting Digest delivered right into your mail-
   box.   Send  a subscribe request to <majordomo@www.partio.fi>. In the body
   of the message write: subscribe sdigest your-email-address.

   Majordomo will also be more than happy to send you back issues. Send:
     get sdigest sdigest1-X.txt
   where you replace X with the issue number.

   For a descriptive list of other Scouting Digest -related  files  Majordomo
   will serve send 'get sdigest FILES'.

   How to retrieve references mentioned after articles? Send mail to Majordo-
   mo and to the body of the message write:
     get sdigest reference-name

   If you  have  any  unanswered  questions,  feel  free  to  mail  <sdigest-
   editor@www.partio.fi>.
