I have recently spent some time designing WordPress themes for UK Scouters and Scout organisations. I have designed them in order to help Scouting webmasters easily set up a website that looks good, is user-friendly, and matches the branding guidelines of the Scout Association.

The themes have been set up as the differing IT skill sets of Scouting webmasters has led to a wide variety of website designs, some of which are less successful than others. As a website is more and more essential in the modern world in which we live, it is important that Scout Groups, Districts, and Counties have access to means of creating them easily and cheaply so that resources of our volunteers time and the money we raise can be directed towards providing the everyday adventure that forms the core of Scouting.

The idea came to me after designing my District’s website and getting some very positive feedback on Escouts. In July I released that theme – i.SCOUT 4 WordPress – and have just released the follow-up theme, Everyday Adventure 4 WordPress.

Please let me know what you think of them!
