Once you create the account, your scout can create a cartoon/avatar of himself. Once he creates his cartoon you can send emails (which will include the cartoon) and save the emails for future use. There are also a lot of other fun things on the site for the scout to do.

4 -The Order Form - tips and tricks
If you have customers having trouble finding an item that they see on the glossy page on the order listing page...here's a tip: Each item has a small symbol beside the picture (a christmas tree, or a circle, or a triangle, or a "C", or....). That same symbol is shown on the order listing page at the top. What we do is - Customer says "I want two of these" - we look for the little symbol and then direct them to the same on the other side "That's the little Christmas tree" or "That's the double circle." It really helps navigate from the back to the front of the pages!
