On that first day, nearly 1,700 people visited the site to view it and more than 700 downloaded the theme!

Hopefully it (and the others I have produced) will be useful to a great number of Scout Leaders across the country.

This theme is perfect for use by all Scouting organisations, and comes with a range of features including:

• a dynamic content slider on the front page for news or other important information
• six widgetised boxes (one specifically for Members Resources, such as programme details)
• easy log-in access for leaders and parents
• social media links and sharing capabilities

Along with the theme itself, we have also been working on providing some branding text and images to make it even easier to set up and run your website. The images have been sized to be used with the Scouts 4 WordPress theme, but can easily be edited to other purposes.

On the Branding Support page, you will also find a suggested website layout and what content could be included. You are not expected to reproduce this completely; the intention is that it gives you a helping hand and some text to get you started!

I therefore request that Scouting webmasters leave a credit link bask to Scouting Themes 4 WordPress and, if they have removed it, to put it back in. This is not really because I want the appropriate credit for the work I have put in – but so that the availability of these free WordPress themes can be more widely available across the Scouting community.

I do note that the credits have almost exclusively been removed on sites where the webmaster has made changes to the theme, but the resulting theme is still basically the theme as downloaded from this site, so an edited credit is absolutely fine.

The aim of the Reef Knot 4 WordPress theme is to enable these groups to set up a website that provides an external contact point and basic information without requiring substantial effort setting up and maintaining. As such, the content of the website is five simple widget boxes for basic data, such as “Who we are”, “What we do”, “Find us”, and “Contact us and join the adventure!”.

Firstly, the navigation bar has been updated to include a log-in link so that you can use these themes to run a Members website and hide information behind a wall away from casual internet visitors and only accessible by members (and make it easy for them to log in).

The other change is to the footer: I have modified this to include a CEOP button and make it slightly tidier.

There are also a couple of minor aesthetic alterations, but nothing major.

I have made one key change to the site: to download the themes, you must now register. This is so that I can monitor how many people are using the themes and communicate with them when updates are made or other such new information needs to be passed on.

The provided hosting is 100% cost and ad free! And comes with Scouting Themes 4 WordPress pre-installed for you!

Why? Because we’re nice and want UK Scouting to have a good online presence.
