The S.T.W.A. (Scouting The Web Award) is a part of the Non-Profit
Organization "Scouting The Web". Scouting The Web is run by Scouts
exclusively for Scouts as a FREE service.
The S.T.W.A. was started to promote "Quality" design within
Scouting based web pages.
The award is given out to websites that are Scouting related only!
S.T.W.A. Staff reviews the web site and checks for both
Scouting content and technical merit by utilizing their Scoring Guide.
February 1998, Boy Scouts of America, Simon Kenton Council,
Venturing Crew 369 offered to host the awards for the
Scouting The Web Organization.
September 2004, www.venturingbsa.com started its move to
http://www.VenturingBSA.com. The STWA came with it. We
outgrew our old site. Currently we need an additional
$100.00 a month to keep the site running.
We would like to thank the
Corder Group
for thier support.

Odds of earning the award:The odds
of earning the S.T.W.A. are less than 2%. The majority of sites
do not qualify. The S.T.W.A. feels it is better to present no
awards than to give a site an award that did not deserve it.
