Back in October last year, I wrote about the 1st Gilwell Scout Group getting its own website. It should have launched at the end of 2008, but by the beginning of 2009 it had been delayed.
As it’s now May and nothing more has happened I thought I’d find out what was happening.
I emailed Gilwell and this is the reply I got –
Hi Nick
Thanks for your email and I can understand the disappointment of not yet being able to see the website, especially when we thought it would be completed by now.
We have just about all of the content ready to go but there are internal problems which means we are probably going to use an external company to do the background work! The new date for the website is likely to be by the end of August in time for Gilwell Reunion in September.
We will be contacting everyone who is currently signed up to hear about the website to share this information in the next few days.
It’s a shame that it’s going to be so late, but hopefully it will be an excellent site to reflect the worldwide nature and size of the 1st Gilwell Park Scout Group / Troop 1 Gilwell!
