Your Website
A Professional Troop Website, Instantly
Pick your troop’s web address at signup and the site builds itself — public pages for new families, a members area for yours, and branding you control from one settings screen. When leadership changes, hand off access, not a rebuild.

The 'Tech-Savvy Parent' Problem
Most troop websites live and die with one volunteer — the parent who happened to know computers. They set up the hosting, they hold the passwords, and when their scout ages out, the site goes stale and nobody can log in to fix it. The next leader starts from scratch, again.
Instant Setup
Pick a Name, Click a Link, You're Live
There's no setup project and no waiting on a volunteer's free weekend. Choose your troop's web address, confirm your email, and your site builds itself — public pages, members area, and all. Your 30-day free trial starts the moment you activate, and no credit card is required.
- Choose your own address, like troop123.sitesforscouts.com — the signup form checks availability as you type
- Created automatically at activation — nothing to install or configure
- Public pages ready on day one: homepage, About, and Contact
- The members area is pre-built too: dashboard, calendar, roster, finances, and resources
- A starter photo gallery, ready for your first campout upload
- Eight common leader titles — Scoutmaster, Treasurer, Committee Chair, and more — already loaded
- Works for troops, packs, and crews — pick your unit type at signup
Your Branding
Make It Feel like Your Troop, Not a Template
Everything a family sees on your public site is yours to set — from the logo in the corner to the story on your About page. Don't have a logo? You get a clean text logo built from your unit's name until you do. Change your mind later and any image reverts to a sensible default with one click.
- Upload your unit logo, or use the automatic text logo built from your unit details
- Set a homepage hero photo and a matching header image for inner pages
- Write your About page header and story with a visual editor
- Add a leader quote and your unit's history to the homepage
- Share meeting details — location, day, time, frequency — and choose whether they're public
- Show or hide your contact phone and email with a single checkbox each
- Link your Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and other social accounts
- Remove any uploaded image and the site falls back to its built-in default
Photos & Files
A Home for the Campout Photos — and the Paperwork
The gallery keeps your troop's adventures in one place families can actually find, instead of scattered across five phones and a shared drive nobody remembers. And the resource library does the same for documents — packing lists, forms, and handouts live on the site, not buried in an email thread from last spring.
- Upload gallery photos in batches — JPG or PNG, up to 10 MB each
- Give each photo a title and caption, drag to reorder, delete with one click
- Photos display right on your troop site — no third-party photo links to manage
- Publish resource pages — packing lists, guides, FAQs — with a visual editor
- Upload document files like forms and handouts for families to download
- Add quick links to outside resources your troop uses, like council pages
- One library for the whole troop — ‘where’s that form?’ has one answer
Easy Updates
If You Can Write an Email, You Can Update the Site
Nobody should need a manual to post a packing list. Every edit happens through simple forms on the site itself, and longer content uses the familiar WordPress visual editor — type, format, publish. There's no server to maintain and no software to update; we handle the platform so you can handle the troop.
- Edit everything through simple forms right on the site — no confusing back-end to learn
- Write and format with the familiar WordPress visual editor: headings, lists, links, bold
- Save resource pages as drafts and publish when they're ready
- Update your About page, homepage story, and leader quote the same easy way
- Change your web address later from Site Settings if your unit's name or number changes
- No hosting to renew, no plugins to update, no security patches — that's our job

Coming Soon: Advanced Website Controls
Today, every troop site uses one clean, mobile-friendly layout that you personalize with your logo, hero photos, and your troop’s own story. Custom menus, theme options, and layout controls are in development — so down the road your troop site can look exactly the way you want. If deeper design control matters to your troop, tell us what you’d want first.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The site is created automatically when you sign up, and every update happens through simple forms on the site itself — branding, meeting info, photos, and resource pages. Longer content uses the familiar WordPress visual editor: type, format, publish. Hosting, updates, and security are handled by us.
Yes, if you already own it. Submit the domain in Site Settings and our team starts setup, then emails you the exact settings to enter with your domain registrar — there's nothing to figure out on your own. Setup typically completes within 1-2 business days after your registrar is updated, and your sitesforscouts.com address keeps working too. We don't register new domains, so you'll need to own the one you want to use.
Your homepage, About page, and Contact page are public so new families can find you. You choose whether meeting location, meeting times, and your contact phone and email appear publicly — each has its own toggle. The dashboard, roster, finances, and calendar sit behind the member login.
Nothing breaks. Ownership sits with the unit, not with any one login — you can have multiple admins, grant leaders specific permissions, and hand off access without moving a single file. Other admins even get a digest email when site settings change, so transitions don't come with surprises.
Not yet — online payments by card or bank transfer are in active development. Today, your troop posts its own payment instructions (Venmo, Zelle, or check) right on the site, parents pay the way your troop already collects money, and the treasurer records it against each scout's account so balances stay current.
Yes — every troop gets a free 30-day trial with full access to every feature, no credit card required. After that it's $25/month or $250/year. One plan, everything included, with unlimited leaders, members, and scouts.
