The Greater Western Reserve Council Internet Web page is provided as a resource to enhance the communication of program information to units and leaders within the Council. Information to be provided on the Council Web page must represent the best principles of the Boy Scouts of America and the Greater Western Reserve Council. The content of these pages must be monitored and verified to assure that the information is accurate, timely and represents actual programs presented by the Council, Council Committees or Districts. The appropriate Council Committee, District Committee or other Chair will authorize certain individuals to provide information to the Council Web page committee. Access to publish information to the Council pages will be limited to authorized persons only.

While the Internet can provide a valuable tool for communication it must be realized that the potential exists for the misuse of the Internet and the information provided by persons with access to that information. Therefor it is the policy of the Council that in no case will complete names, addresses or telephone numbers of youth members of the Council will be published on these pages. Adult volunteers names and phone numbers may be included only where those adults have authorized the Council to publish that information.

The Council web pages will not provide space to units or individuals for their own web pages. The Council will provide links to those GWRC units with their own web pages as well as links to web pages which provide significant resource value to units and leaders within our Council. Examples of these links would be the National Council Web site, National Program High Adventure Bases, and other web sites of value. The Council will not endorse or approve any private or commercial web site for content or value. It is the express intent of the Council that the GWRC web pages not provide any individual with personal or commercial gain. A statement shall be placed on each link page which shall state: The GWRC does not endorse or approve any web site or the information contained therein. This link is provided for reference only.
