The Project
The goal of TROOP 23 ONLINE is to provide a presence the World Wide Web with useful information that pertains to BSA Troop 23 and its activities. The site is constantly being updated and changed to make it better for you. Direct comments, suggestions, questions, corrections, encouragement and complements to the webmaster.

This project was begun by Tyler Barg, an Eagle Scout from Troop 23. Tyler started the web site while still a student in high school, spending countless hours of hard work writing code and debugging. Tyler's original site can still be viewed at http://troop-23.webjump.com.  In order to give Tyler more time to work on his Eagle and concentrate on getting through his senior year of high school,  Bob Gunnells took over the duties of webmaster in March of 2001.

The Technology
The original home for the web site was on the webjump.com server. The site was moved to the space provided to subscribers of AOL in March of 2001. Although this was an improvement, working with AOL was cumbersome, plus TROOP 23 ONLINE soon outgrew the available space. The search was begun to find a larger, more manageable home for the site. In May of 2001, space was acquired on the WWW.BSATroops.org server and TROOP 23 ONLINE moved to it's current location.

The site is composed with Microsoft FrontPage and then tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, and AOL 6.0. We also test the site on two different size monitors. We want to make the site viewable by as many people as possible. If your browser is having trouble with this site, drop a note to the webmaster. Be sure to include details.
