Our current Internet Guidelines for Scouting Unit Web Sites was last updated 1/31/2006, well before the explosion of social medial tools.

Given that the organization is actively involved in social media now, we should consider revising these guidelines to be more reflective of current technologies.
Many council websites are poorly done. They use designs from the early 90s (when the worldwide web was just starting). Most of all, visitors to some sites can't even tell the site is a BSA site. Very poor branding. Council websites should scream Boy Scouts, with style of course.

I'm sure lots of DE's and volunteers have graphics talents to share.

We agree. The Department of Brand Management and Information Systems are collaborating on a consistently branded local council web site design that will be offered in coming weeks.
