BUGLE CALLS: Army Bands Online
Bugling, once feared to be a "lost art" in Scouting, is on the upswing. The Bugler is a key troop leadership position, serving as the SPL's "Chief Communications Officer". He needs to know a variety of calls to signal various events on a camp-out schedule. Army Bands Online maintains one of the best sites on bugling, letting you review the sheet music as you hear each call played by an expert.

Moon Phase Calendar
Here's a nifty little resource to use when you are planning an overnight outing for your unit. It's a simple little website dedicated to producing graphical calendars of moon phases throughout the month. Just plug in the month and year, and you'll get a calendar showing what to expect from the noon (assuming a clear sky) for each night of the month. Full moons, of course, provide extra light for nighttime games and activiites, while the lack of moonlight will enhance star-gazing.
