About The County Website

The County Website is designed and maintained by Liam O'Malley of arTech Web Design.

Hello,

Welcome to the Merseyside Scout County Website, My name is Liam O'Malley and I am the Website Manager for the Merseyside County Sites. The county site was initially set up by the Internet Troubleshooter and I took over during the summer of 2002. We decided the site needed a complete overhall and a new look. This new site was launched in September 2002 and has continued to grow ever since.

We decided that the new website would need to meet certain aims which we set forward in 2002. These were, to create a site that would be informative for those outside of the movement. But more importantly, to be a usefull resource for our own members. This would need to include, an up to date diary, downloadable event booking and information sheets, sectional information, and a place to advertise the events the county is envolved in. With these aims in mind I hope that I have created a site that both meets and surpasses these requirements.

I hope that you will have noticed the new sections and updates we have completed over the last few months. In line with the new program we have recently added a Nights Away section and an updated Training Section. We are pleased that as time goes by this site is gradually improving and has now become a valuable county resource.

I joined scouting as a Beaver at 1st Great Meols in West Wirral, and moved through Cubs before joining the 2nd West Kirby Sea Scouts. Here I stayed and as my age group moved up into Venture Scouting we Created a new local area unit called The Phantom VSU where I stayed until 2002. I am now Scout Leader for 2nd West Kirby Sea Scouts.

We want to make sure that the site is constantly kept up to date and therefore if you have any ideas or suggestions about how the site could grow or improve please e-mail them to me and I will see what I can do.

Yours In Scouting

Liam O'Malley,
County Webmaster.
