[Ldsoss] Scout Tracking

[grgordonross at sunflower.com]

I would agree with both your concerns Steven, accept that, after reading the entire email trail from yesterday, this appears to be a project initiated by Church HQ and not some random person on the listserve.

The church has said no unofficial websites - this to me would be an official website.

 1) The church has said no websites.  You can't get away with making the
 "this is scouting and that is the church" distinction, anymore.  
 
 2) It is a legal problem to start posting information about minor children
 to the Internet.  That would have to be decided at Church HQ and not by the
 local units.  They don't even allow information to be posted into Family
 Search about living people, they just insert a "LIVING" placeholder.  Being
 involved with security professionally, I would not give my consent.  This is
 a huge pitfall -- despite good intentions -- it would be wise not to fall
 into it.

 Web-based would be great, but with the church's policy on non-official 
 websites, where does that put the local unit that would want to install 
 and use such a web-based app?
