Wormhole Community Scouting Guide
Welcome WHC Scouts!
If you are reading this, you are probably a newer member of the WHC who is an explorer at heart. You might even be interested in being a scout for the campus but are not sure of all the little intricacies of scanning/scouting down our chains in hopes of finding PvP and even PvE activities. If we have your attention so far, please read on :-)
This guide will take you step by step through the preferred process of scanning and scouting down one of our new chains, including what to do should you find potential PvP targets.

First Steps
Let us begin with a new cosmic signature appearing in our home system.
Let's assume that it is in fact a new wormhole and you have just scanned it down to 100%.
Let's also assume that this is a new Bacon static. Other scenarios will be covered later in this guide.
Note:All bookmarks should be placed in the Wormhole Campus folder of the Corporation Bookmarks unless otherwise stated. Keep in mind that corporate bookmarks can take up to 5 minutes to propagate (show up) for everyone else in the corporation.
- (Optional but helpful) Announce that you have scanned down the new Bacon and are in warp to it
- Warp to the wormhole at 10 (warping at zero will de-cloak you and make you visible to someone possibly jumping in from the other side)
- Bookmark the wormhole once on grid (following the bookmarking scheme linked above) - DO NOT bookmark any wormhole from the scanner window as the bookmark may be up to 5km off the actual location
- Announce in mumble and/or in fleet chat that you are on grid with the new Bacon so that others wanting to help scan down the new chain can join you immediately without having to wait for your bookmark to propagate. You can put something like "www new bacon" in fleet chat
- Once everyone wanting to join you is in warp, go ahead and jump in - always announce friendly activations :-)
