Scout Group Websites

We solve everyday problems for over 150,000+ Scout Groups & ESUs across the UK and worldwide. Our team have created the most used online website platform, focusing on ease of use, low fees and constant updates.

Working closely with the associations, we have produced on-brand frameworks that allow us to create websites for every area of Scouting.

We’re based in Cheshire, however our team work globally.

How will a website help your Scout Group?

We can set up a Scout Group website that will:

• Ensure that you’re on-brand now and in the future – we work closely with the brand and marketing teams within the associations.
• Cover both GDPR and cyber-security compliance, with hourly backups and a dedicated firewall solution with 100% connectivity guaranteed.
• Allow for simple updates by you (and others) – we use the WordPress platform as a backbone for ease of use, and we’ve built a bespoke core of functionality meaning everything has been developed without using plugins.
• Improve communication, engagement and recruitment constantly within your Group or ESU, for members, leaders and parents.
• Recruit new members and volunteers, and add these into our waiting list system which is easy to manage and sends invitation emails. We can feed your waiting list into Online Scout Manager too!
• Allow for news, events and activities to be published online, and events can be booked via our booking system, which can facilitate payments.
• Integrate with OSM if you wish, which will automatically update your website with events and programme information, saving you time.
• Easily allow you to showcase and take bookings/payments for your HQ, vehicles or assets, ensuring you can gain revenue without the management that goes with it.
• Allow donations and/or subscription payments to be made easily via your website, facilitated by on-site Direct Debit and/or Card payments.
• Easily showcase products to be purchased online via an eCommerce shop, with stock control systems.

How does it work?

• View our pricing plans.
• Pick a plan that suits you best.
• Get in touch to discuss any questions and get started.
• We’ll send you an invoice for the one-off set-up fee via email.
• We’ll give you access to our project management platform, where you’ll be given a list of things we need to get your website set up (we’ll keep it short, don’t worry).
• We work on a staging link where only you can see your new website before it goes live.
• Once you’re happy, and after any final tweaks, we’ll push it live onto your domain name.
• We handle all of the techy bits, including your domain name, DNS and hosting.
• You’ll receive a log in to WordPress, and we can hold a Zoom call to show you how it’s all updated (or you can read our PDF guides).
• We’ll support you as and when you need us – just get in touch!

We’ve launched Scout Group websites that are used by 150,000+ Scouts across the UK, and are proud to hold a five star rating on Trustpilot.

“We used Scout Websites to replace our existing site which was in much need of a refresh! Previously we had built the site ourselves, but didn't really have the knowledge to have the quality of site we wanted.

I have a background in IT and unfortunately have experienced suppliers that start off sounding great, but turn out to be a nightmare when they have your cash. Scout Websites are not one of these! The whole process was very straight forward and responses to any queries were very fast.

We ended up having our site launched in less than a month. The team made us feel at ease and any changes we requested, even after the site was live, are made with no bother.

I would not hesitate to recommend them to other Scout Groups.”
