SctDad Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I was looking for some information about what we should put on our pack webpage. I have built one already and want to improve it. So I ask, what kind of things would you put on your webpage. What kind of information on the front page. Looking for suggestions and maybe some pointers.

sk84sv Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 web sites are great when they have a consistently updated calendar and old and new pictures of events events and having an archive of old pack events are always awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 A point of contact! With a name and maybe even a photo. For example: "Want to be a cub? E-mail Bob P at bobp@theinternet.net Or come meet Bob at our monthly pack meeting! (Time and date)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlFansome Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Our Pack's website is primarily a vehicle to communicate to parents already in the Pack, and is used to help recruit and give background to prospective parents in May when we sign boys up for the following year. So, pretty much anything and everything that you need to communicate to parents is fair game. On our front page are always any upcoming (within a month or so) events or outings, along with any PDF files that may include sign-up forms, handouts, directions, announcements or whatever. Add to that info on recent past events (Pinewood winners, toy drive results, leader recognitions) and you have a pretty complete front page. We have other pages that include photos, a calendar, links to web resources, documents (uniform inspection, permission slips, pack newsletters, etc..). And we also have a contacts page so everyone knows how to get in touch with everyone else. Our site is www.palmerpack215.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basementdweller Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Don't make to much information public. I would keep the photo gallery, the calendar and den schedules and rosters private. We have a troop in our district blaming a rash of home burglary's on their website and information on it. Far as Public contact information probably just the CM and CC or Membership Chair if you have one. Sad that it has come to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SctDad Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 So for safety reasons, we should make sure that there is limitations to the personal information. May list leaders as Mr Joe, or Mr. Bob. And maybe just some e-mail and no physical addresses. Thanks for the help so far. I am still working on the front page reformat. The great thing is I have a program that makes things easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank10 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Do not post upcoming dates for events. It puts the public on notice of when your home will be empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
