ScoutBook Instructions: https://www.troop11tx.org/scoutbook/scoutbook-instructions
ScoutBook is the tool Troop 11 uses to manage:
Troop Calendar
Patrol Rosters
Advancements
Troop communications (Email and SMS/TEXT)
Scout payments
FUTURE – MB Counselors
NOTE: If a scout wants to log onto ScoutBook and receive emails the parent must enter the scout's email address into ScoutBook. To do this the Parent logs into ScoutBook and goes to My Dashboard>Scout>Edit Profile>Scroll to the very bottom and select to connect with Scout. Then enter scout's email address
NOTE2: If sending emails use BBC for all troop communications so everyone does not get everyone else's email address.
Even though we are using ScoutBook for advancements, the Scout HandBook (physical book) and Merit Bade Blue Cards are still the master record and are still required to get Rank and Metit Badges.
Scouts Can go to their Patrol with the following Links:
From the links below the patrol leader can send emails to their Patrol.
