Join the WOSM Slack Team In order to foster great communication and organisation between everyone who is working for WOSM, we have selected SLACK, an instant communication/messaging tool, to help us improve interaction among and within teams, discuss specific topics and enable direct messaging between team members. Slack is the key place that we will communicate with all consultants and so it is vital that you are on slack and have your notifications turned on. When logging in on a new device for the first time, you will be asked to enter the team URL which is worldscouting.slack.com, you then type your username and password used in the sign up process mentioned below. The first step is setting up your account. After reading these steps just click the link in the email invitation you will receive to get started: 1. Check your inbox for an “invitation to join a Slack team.” – if you have not received one then please email laguayo@scout.org to request a new invite. 2. Click the Join button. 3. On the signup page, enter your first and last name and choose a username. 4. When you are ready, click Next. 5. Choose a password, then click join team. 6. Check your email and verify your account. 7. That’s it, you are in! Important!! Please ensure you have the notifications on Slack and in your phone settings on so that you are notified when you receive a message – this will ensure you don’t miss out on important information on training and messages from your peers.
