From ScoutManage
[edit] Parent's Guide
Your scout unit has decided to use ScoutManage to track the progress of the Scouts in your unit. ScoutManage is an internet-based program that is used to keep track of rank advancement, belt loops, pins, merit badges, and other awards that your scout has earned or is in the process of earning.
As a parent, with ScoutManage you can:
- Track your scout’s progress towards their current rank advancement, merit badges, arrow points, and activity badges.
- Communicate with your leader’s information on tasks and activities your son has completed at home.
- Update your scout’s records to make sure your unit always has the most accurate e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and addresses.
- View a calendar of activities for the entire unit or only for your scout. The calendar is continuously updated as new events are added or events are changed.
- Get an up-to-date roster with phone numbers and e-mail addresses for all of the leaders and parents in the unit, always reflecting the most recent information available.
- Get up-to-date information on what your scout’s completed during various events and trips.
- Track dues you and your family owe, and what you have paid.
- Track activity fees, and permission slips due.
- Keep a “time capsule” history of all awards your scout has earned, and when they earned them.
ScoutManage makes keeping track of your scouting experience easier. If you are also a leader, then ScoutManage can also help you keep track of scouts in your unit (see the separate ScoutManage Leader’s Guide for more information).
This document provides basic information for using ScoutManage. You can use ScoutManage as much or as little as you want to help your unit leadership track your son’s advancement, and help you give your son the recognition they deserve for their Scouting accomplishments.
