Websites...

Do you need a comprehensive website for your Scout Group? 

Do you need it to be startight forward to set up? 
Do you need to be able to control the contents by completing forms on-line rather than coding your own site? 
Do you need the information to be able to be updated by a series of people? 
Do you need to be able to put photos, copies of letters etc into a secure area of the website? 
Do you need a website URL (the www.something.org.uk bit) registered for you?

We acknowledge that not every Scouter is (or would want to be!) an expert in website design, and/or have the time to regularly maintain a website.   For this reason we've sourced a professional, structured and user friendly web system for Scout Groups (and ESUs etc).

There are hundreds of sites out there built by groups themselves but not many offer the same features and ease of use as the package on offer here.  Our package takes away all the problems of developing and managing your website. All the features your group needs are bundled together into one user friendly package. A complete package; leaves you with nothing to do but start using it!

The website system has a comprehensive range of features - the best way to understand them all is to experience them by trying out our online demonstration site.
