The Many Apps of Scouting
Sooner or later you will find yourself saying "why are there so many Apps!" Hopefully this page can help you navigate
This is where you (not just leaders) complete Youth Protection Training if you want to volunteer in any capacity even just helping at one event. It's also where your family's official BSA membership and registration renewal happens each year. If you ever attend a council or district event, camp, or apply for financial assistance, this is the system of record.
Also known as "scoutbookplus" and "advancements". This is your window into your scout's progress. You can see exactly which adventures and requirements your child has completed, what's left for their next rank, and upcoming den/pack events on the calendar. Many parents use it to track adventure requirements that can be done at home between den meetings.
This is your go-to hub for logistics like the pack calendar, event sign-ups, and general announcements. If you're wondering "when's the next campout" or "do I need to send money for the pinewood derby," this is usually where the answer lives before you even have to ask a leader. Your dues are payable through this app, but note that you need to log in through the website to complete a transaction.

This is how your scout participates in the pack's biggest fundraiser of the year and earns individual prizes/incentives based on their sales. It's also where you'll track your scout's storefront shift signups, online sales link (great for sharing with out-of-town relatives), and any wagon sales. Popcorn sales often fund the majority of the pack's program budget, including keeping dues lower, so this app has a direct link to what your family pays out of pocket the rest of the year.
