Webmaster

The Webmaster keeps the Troop's website and web apps running. The apps handle activity sign-ups, rosters, payments and reimbursements, medical forms, gear checkout and more. The Webmaster also makes sure families can sign in and find what they need.

Responsibilities

• Maintain the Troop website and web apps: fix problems, add features, and keep them working
• Keep the Troop's domain, hosting and Google Workspace accounts renewed and paid for
• Oversee mailing lists and group access. Membership updates are mostly automatic, so the work is checking that the sync is healthy and stepping in when it is not
• Help families and Scouts who cannot sign in or are missing access
• Work with the Communications Coordinator (adult) and the Scout Webmaster/Historian (youth), who keep site content up to date
• Keep the Webmaster playbook current. It documents the role's procedures, such as domain renewal, so the role can be handed over

Skills

• Comfortable writing code in any language, and comfortable using AI tools to bridge gaps in knowledge. No web development background is required
• Comfortable working with data and databases (the apps run on SQL)
• Responsive to email requests, usually within a day
