This Web site was designed and originally published in 1995 by Bob Kearley, and later enhanced by Charlie Love,
Troop 116 Eagle Scouts #114 and #111. As one of the first BSA Troop websites in the world, it was hosted for its first five years by Charlotte's Web,
an innovator in community Internet services, administered by the staff and volunteers at the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
Since 2000, hosting and technical services have been generously provided by Spencer Love, Love Web Wiz, a friend of the Troop.
Thanks to all for your help in expanding the communications of Troop 116. |
