Best Sign-Up App for Scout Troops
What to use, what it costs, and when it is not us
Scout units already have tools for advancement and rosters. What they often lack is an easy link for parents to claim campout meals, popcorn booth shifts, or Eagle project jobs. Use the troop system for the troop; use a sign-up sheet for the one-offs.
