Updated National Boy Scout Website
Posted by admin under: communication .
Both ScoutingNews.org and KISMIF.org have reported that the national Boy Scouts of America website has been redesigned. I kind of liked the old version with it’s fading in and out pics, but I have to admit that the new format is much faster and I generally count that as more important than aesthetics.
According to ScoutingNewsthe new design uses the new format that will allow the BSA to roll out the same look and feel to all the national sites like Scoutstuff.org and the Online Leadership Training center and eventually to all the local councils, too.
This new design is the beginning of phase two of the BSA leveraging Sitecore’s web CMS for its nationwide brand management.
The new site design that features the 100th anniversary of Scouting and 100 reasons to join Scouting was made public yesterday. The site design works to group information by categories and provide relivant information depending on if you are a Youth, Parent, Volunteer, or Visitor. They have also provided a special landing page called ScoutSource to provide a one-stop shop for all of the resources available to assist you in your Scouting efforts.
The website is powered by SiteCore CMS which, according to prior reports, will power all 40 National Council Websites and eventually local Council websites as well.
- BSA McWebsite
- Digital Boy Scout Handbook
- Nice Training Page Summary
- Closeout on 2008 Eagle Application
