Project Description:
The 8th Orleans Scout Group, the largest in Eastern Ontario with over 180 members, has embarked on a vital project to overhaul its outdated website. This initiative, driven by the critical need for improved communication and engagement, has been entrusted to a specialized team from the Interactive Media Design (IMD) program at Algonquin College. The project’s goal is to create a modern, user-centered website that not only streamlines internal communication among current members but also enhances the group’s visibility and appeal to potential new volunteers and Scouters. Facing challenges in keeping up with digital communication standards, the group recognizes that the current website’s limitations are a barrier to growth and effective engagement. By leveraging the latest in web design and interactive features, the new website aims to provide a more accessible and engaging platform. This forward-looking endeavor is poised to significantly impact the group’s ability to attract and retain members, ensuring the 8th Orleans Scout Group remains a vibrant and integral part of the community.
