To add a group to the map, please email me at tyakunda@gmail.com. Please include as many of the following as possible: Group Name, Street address, Website URL, and Coordinates (see below).

To get accurate coordinates, use the address search, then zoom in as much as possible, and drag the map (or double click to re-center) so that your scout hall / den is right in the centre of the map.

The current map is centered on the coordinates:

The Australian Scout Group Locator aims to allow visitors to find scout groups based on Location, rather than just name. It currently has about 570 ^{(Jan 2010)} groups marked, from all around Australia. You can search by address, lookup by group name, or just browse around and find maps. There is also a list of groups marked on the map.

The Australian Scout Group Locator started off as a map of the Tyakunda District, and tried to show driving directions to each of the groups. Some nearby groups were added, and the driving directions discarded. It then evolved to the Queensland Scout Mapping Project, showing almost all of the scout groups in Queensland. It has now been expanded and redesigned to be Australia wide, and easier to use. Groups are added from details on their websites, and from details received via email.

From a programmers point of view, it is an XHTML 1.0 document, using javascript and cascading stylesheets (css). The maps are based around the Google Maps API. The pages are W3 Standards compliant, and have been designed to work on most common web browsers.

Webmasters of Australian Scouting websites are encouraged to embed the locator inside their website, or link to the locator. Options include:

• Interactive Map
• Links to nearby groups (automatically updated)
• Text or graphic links to the locator
