• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Family Connections, Inc. has partnered with the friends and family of one of the scouts from the Glenwood, Iowa area to help promote a fund that has been established at First National Bank in an effort to raise money to help in the rebuilding of this training/camp area in Little Sioux that was lost on Wednesday June, 11.


If you would like to help, you can make a donation at any First National bank location to the "REBUILDING TO HEAL" fund. First National Bank locations are listed below.

Any help you can give will aid in beginning the healing process and help to rebuild the facility that has helped to promote positive ideals and skills to thousands of midwest boys.

As an old scout (3rd Pinelands Cape Town South Africa) my heart goes out to the scouts of Glenwood. The movement does a great job worldwide.

The tragedy brought to mind this article by Charles Doswell, that famous meteorologically minded scouter.

This article should become prescribed reading for all scouts wherever in the world they are.
