Editor's Notes
- Good unit record keeping is easy with good software. TroopMaster will track: [CLICK] (1) Scout/adult personal data [CLICK] (2) Rank advancement [CLICK] (3) Merit badges and scout/adult special awards [CLICK] (4) Scout/adult training and leadership positions [CLICK] (5) Attendance at camps, hikes, service projects, [CLICK] (6) meetings, outings, and user-defined activity types [CLICK] (7) Fundraisers, such as popcorn sales and receipts [CLICK] (8) Order of the Arrow eligibility and membership [CLICK] (9) Merit badge counselors [CLICK] (10) Points of contact, such as district leaders, business references, volunteers [CLICK]
- This dialog provides fields for the basic information on your unit, such as [Click] unit type (troop, team, crew), [Click] meeting place, and [Click] chartered organization. You can even enter a [Click] unit vehicle or [Click] attach a unit photo. [Click]
- Selecting a specific activity displays this dialog. For each activity, [Click] you’ll enter a type, length, location, start time, and so on. [Click] Click the “Description” button to enter more details, such as a description of the service project or directions to a camp ground. The attendance marker [Click] is very flexible. Most of the time, you’ll probably use an “X” but you can enter a number if you want to give different scouts credit for a different number of nights camped, miles hiked, service hours worked, etc. [Click] In this service project example, this particular scout worked 3 and ½ hours. [Click]
- … and has thus far completed the “Participation” and “Position of Responsibility” requirements. [Click] TroopMaster automatically monitors and credits these requirements for you and, for example, will automatically enter a completion date in the Position of Responsibility field when the scout has served enough time in valid positions. Similarly, when this scout completes six hours of service project time, the program will enter a completion date in that field. The scout has also completed three merit badges for this rank, [Click] two Eagle-required and one optional, so TroopMaster displays a message at the top of the dialog [Click] telling you that one of the two remaining badges must be from the Eagle-required list. As each scout completes merit badges, TroopMaster automatically places the badges under the appropriate ranks based on BSA advancement rules. That’s true whether you credit a badge through one of the rank dialogs or through the separate badge completion dialog. Let’s take a look at that dialog. [Click]
- There are three parts to the paper report. [Click] This first part lists all scouts who earned awards during the specified time period. For each scout, the program lists merit badges, rank advancements, special awards, and/or service stars. Following this, [Click] the program lists adults who have earned special awards or service stars. [Click] The “R” flag on this award indicated that it was earned prior to the time period of this report but has not yet been reported to the council office. That sometimes happens if a scout forgets to turn in his blue card on time. If you prefer, TroopMaster will sort and print all of this data by award instead of by recipient. [Click]
- The Scout Participation Summary will give you activity totals for each of your scouts for any desired time period. For example, [Click] this scout has attended 9 camps for a total of 23 nights, [Click] and 2 service projects for a total of 7.2 hours. [Click] Unit totals are displayed at the bottom. Optionally, [Click] you can get attendance percentages instead of totals. That makes it easy to spot a scout who’s attending all of the camp outs but very few of the fundraisers! This same set of reports is also available for your adults. [Click]
