First, we would like to offer a special thanks to the webmasters of BSA Troop 572 in Potomac Falls, Virginia and BSA Troop 982 in Leesburg, Virginia for their suggestions and guidance in helping Troop 997 refurbish our web site.
The links on this page leave the BSA Troop 997 web site. At the time we accessed it, the content accessible by these links was believed to be consistent with the principles and values of the Boy Scouts of America and Troop 997. However, we have no control over any material or links provided from these sites. This information is provided for reference only.
The following are links to software and resources used to develop and maintain the Troop 997 web site.
The most common question is of course "Where do you host your web site?". We use 1&1 as our web hosting provider. We run our web site on a shared linux host.
