Our needs
> A solution that makes the work of leaders and support network easier
> Membership data of a better quality
> A greater loyalty to the association
> A base for communication with members on all organisational levels
> A solution that adapts to future needs for analysis/information/communication
3
January 2009: New membership system
> A better toolkit for scout and guide groups and regions
> Group management will be simpler and quicker
> A better communication on and between the levels of the organisation.

Membership data are like fresh fish:
> After a short time, the quality is not as good anymore …
> After some more time it stinks!
> Challenge 1: How do we provide fresh data?
> Chosen solution: Let the members do the updating themselves.
> Challenge 2: How do we motivate them?

”My page”
> Can be created for every member
> Can be customised to fit each member’s need by the member.
> Can be used to plan and sign up for activities on all levels.
> Can be used to communicate with your guides/scouts, other leaders of the group, and your scout friends.
> Quick and easy updating of membership data.
> Non-members can be given access.

Success criteria> Easy to use!
> A secure system
> The groups must be made to use the new system
> Leaders must experience that it makes their work easier
> It is viewed as an effective channel for communication
> Information to members on all levels
> Not updating your personal information is to your disadvantage

When the basic functions are there …> A toolkit for planning, organisation and
evaluation of projects and events
> A scout ”resumé” (CV)
> A tool for simple construction of the group’s web site, following certain design guidelines

The open source software philosopy …
… means that we share our solution with others who have the same needs – the ”recycling” of a good solution
… ”free” software is not for free, but you share new solutions / versions with cooperation partners
… provides a large network of system developers, it secures a stable development and use of the system
… the good ideas as well as development costs are thus shared

Therefore …
Please feel free to contact the NGSA about this, perhaps we can all benefit from it?
