Our Pack is trying something new this year. We have singed up for Scout Manage. This program will help
us track the scouts progress through the ranks of his Cub Scouting experiance. All Parents and Leaders will
be set up with User Names and Pass words. To access Scout Manage click on this link www.scoutmanage.com and input your user name and password at the top of the page.
Using
a single, easy-to-use web interface, multiple members of our unit • including leaders and parents can
access, monitor, track, and update all aspects of their scouting experience in a safe and controlled environment. ScoutManage allows multiple members of our unit to view and update information at the same time, creating a truly
powerful system for interacting between everyone in our unit. What It Does...ScoutManage removes many of the tedious day-to-day chores of managing a scouting unit, by allowing the management
of information to those who know it best, rather than having changes funneled thru 1 or 2 key (and very busy) leaders in our
unit. Information can be handled by: - Parents. Update what requirements
their son's worked on at home. This can be for their rank advancement, or for any of the other 330 awards that ScoutManage
supports. Easily contact your Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, or other leader. Accurately keep up-to-date on all upcoming events
and activities. Contact other parents within your den, patrol, pack, or troop.
- Den
Leaders. Track the attendance, activities, dues, and achievements of the scouts in their care. Create and update
calendar entries and perform event management for your den/patrol. Communicate effectively and consistently online with your
scouts and parents. Along with parents, track progress towards rank and any of the other 330 awards available, representing
thousands of individual requirements.
- CubMaster Provide regular
and easily available communications with all the scouts and parents in your unit.
- Committee
Chair. Monitor and examine the activities of your unit. Are tour permits being turned in? What about permission slips?
Do all of the vehicles you use to transport have insurance information on file? Who does not have a medical statement (class
1, 2, or 3) on file? Communicate with your leaders effectively and consistently. Create and communicate leadership meetings.
- Treasurer. Track who has paid and who has not paid fees. Track
reimbursement requests.
- Advancement Coordinator. Track who
has earned what awards. Easily manage lists of awards to purchase, and awards to present. Automatically fill out BSA advancement
forms.
- Individual Event Coordinator. Track who is planning
on attending and who may attend. Track (easily coordinated with the treasurer) payment of event fees. Track permission slips
required and turned in, and automatically notify parents when they are still needed. Track results of attendance (number of
miles hiked, for example). Track tour permits and payment of event fees.
- Training
Coordinator. Track training completion for any training event for any leader. Track which leaders have not yet taken
required training. Track which leaders have taken a specific specialized training. Track who is out of day for expirable training,
such as Youth Protection. Plan, coordinate, and communicate training events.
