Counties, Regions & Areas

Founded in 2012 by volunteers, Scout Websites have created the most used online website platform for the Scouts, which is now used by over 150,000+.

Every County, Region or Area is different, with a different membership size, top-level team structure and problems that need solving. We’ve worked with the largest County in the UK, as well as the smallest Island in the world. Our on-brand framework allow us to create websites for every area of Scouting.

Scout Websites was founded and is run by Josh Diamond, who is Assistant County Commissioner in Cheshire.

Our team can help your County, Region or Area by creating a website that is:

• On-brand, now and in the future – we’ll roll out updates as they’re released nationally.
• Simple to update, using the WordPress platform as a backbone for easy changes, however with a bespoke core of functionality built by us, meaning everything has been developed without using plugins.
• Covered for both GDPR and cyber-security compliance without any of your time, built on top of a platform promising 99.9% uptime, monitoring every minute, 24/7 support, dedicated firewalls, DDoS protection, and a back up every hour.
• Engineered to improve communication, engagement and recruitment constantly, for members, leaders and parents.
• Integrated fully with OSM, which automatically updates your website with the latest events and information, saving you time.
• Enabled for easy and quick recruitment of new members and volunteers. We can easily add these into our bespoke waiting list system, organised by Unit or Group, or District, which is easy to manage and sends notifications and invitations. Alternatively, we can feed your waiting list into Online Scout Manager.
• Easy to use latest news and photo/video gallery upload.
• Available for events, activities and adult training to be published online, as well booked via a booking system which can facilitate payments if required.
• Enabled for products and/or merchandise to be purchased online via an eCommerce shop, with stock control systems and dispatch management.
• Simple for donations to be made easily via your website, facilitated by on-site Direct Debit and/or Card payments.
• Ready to showcase and take bookings/payments for your buildings, vehicles or assets, ensuring you can gain revenue without the management that goes with it.
• Available as a platform for your Districts and Groups should they wish to use us too, meaning all information feeds easily between your website and theirs.

The website for Cheshire Scouts comes with almost every feature out there. It’s definitely worth a look…

“We are absolutely delighted with the result and would not hesitate to recommend Scout Websites to anyone else looking to either have a web presence or refresh an older site. Feedback from our leaders is fantastic and we have seen an upturn in enquiries since launch from young people wishing to join!”

We expect to turnaround your new website in around a month provided we’ve got the information we need from you. We will provide a quick and easy list of what we need right at the beginning.

What does it cost?

Our pricing is really simple – for all Counties, Regions and Areas, we charge a one-off set-up fee, plus a small annual fee to keep everything online.
