Why you should integrate Google Calendar into your website

The ability to integrate a Google Calendar is an incredibly useful feature for websites that display their events, training and facility availability.

When it comes to Scouting and Girlguiding, organisation is key! The last thing you want is to be constantly updating multiple areas of your organisation, when it could all be maintained and accessed easily and efficiently by Google Calendar.

Take a look at why you should use Google Calendar integration across your website; a feature which comes as part of the basic package when you buy your Scouts Website from us:

Make attending events even easier

With our seamless integration, you can display your entire existing event calendar on your website. Each time that you make an update on your calendar within Google, this will automatically update on the events list on your website.

Simplify the booking process for facilities and equipment

Many of the Scout Groups, Districts, Counties and especially Campsites that we’ve worked with integrate their Google Calendar. Used as a tool alongside our bespoke booking forms, simplifying the whole booking process has never been easier.

Use your Google Calendar to display availability or existing bookings whilst allowing enquiries to be taken through the accompanying form. You will then be able to manually approve any booking enquiries and add this to your Google Calendar which will then show up on your website.

Improve organisation and communication

Outside of your website, you can use your Google Calendar for much more. You’ll be able to add your parents via email address to any particular event notifications that they might need reminding about.

You can also share calendars with all relevant members, volunteers and parents so everyone is always up to date.
