Scouting Digest - Issue 5 (15th April, 1996)

Editorial

Welcome to the worldwide Scouting Digest. Don't forget, where ever
you're reading this, you will always find the latest edition online at
ScoutNet UK.

Scouting Digest will be published at least every other week and will
contain information on 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.
