Star Rating: This
is a rating for the site overall. Please note that the star
rating is a subjective view taken by the Scouting Resources
site and a low (or high) rating should not be taken too seriously.
It is merely a simple way of ranking the sites to decide upon
which order you should look at them. In keeping with the scouting
spirit I suggest that, if you have the time, you look at all
the sites listed. However it certainly is true that some sites
could be better and the star rating does serve a purpose. |
