Managing Groups in Find Group function

We use a third-party plugin called Store Locator to manage our Groups so they display on a map.

  3. Enter the name of the Group where it says ‘enter store title here’ (excluding the words scout group), e.g. !st Alderton
  4. In ‘Store categories’ tick those that apply – always tick one of the districts, e.g., Beavers, SCouts, Grafton District
  5. Scroll down until you get to ‘Store Details’
  6. Enter in information – anyting with a red asterisk is required
  7. Ensure you enter the post code (Zip coe) with a space between the two elements. e.g., NN12 7LN
