Connecting to the Wifi

First,ensure you are in a location that has WiFi available.

For instructions on how to connect standard/typical devices (such as laptops, phones and tablets) to the network, refer to the "Connecting Devices to the Network" page under the Guest Support section. 

For instructions on how to connect non-standard devices (such as 3D printers, laser cutters, etc.), refer to the "Special Devices (3D Printers, Laser Cutters, etc.)" page.

Once you've connected your device to the "Horseshoe Scout Reservation" network, you will be redirected to the captive portal webpage for sign-in.  Proceed to the "Navigating the Captive Portal (Staff)" page for the next steps.

If you have not been redirected to the captive portal, refer to the "Common Problems and Solutions" page under the Guest Support section.
