Train, Track, and Report On Your Scouting Program

Scouting happens when dedicated volunteers like you work together to deliver fun adventures in their communities, at our camps, around the country, and even around the world.

Behind the scenes important information and record keeping helps to keep our programs safe, well-staffed, supplied, and running smoothly.

Why are There so Many Different Tools and Websites?

Scouting is made possible by both local and national resources. We believe we are good stewards of these resources, but as technology changes and adapts, it is difficult to completely abandon old systems. To take advantage of new technology, new systems often pop-up alongside old systems.

While there are a lot of places to go, we've tried to organize everything here for you to get to the right place for the right task.

All About National BSA Tools

My.Scouting.org

As an adult Scouting volunteer, get access to your Scouting record and submit important information about your pack, troop, or crew. Access to various tools is based on your registered Scouting position, so be sure to submit your Adult Leader Application and follow all procedures when stepping into a new role.

My.Scouting.org replaced the older myScouting.org system. (We apologize for the similarity in system names, this was not a decision we made.)

Scoutbook.com

Scoutbook is a web-based youth advancement tracking tool. It is FREE for individual and Scout unit (pack, troop, crew, ship) use.

Scoutbook also provides messaging tools, photo and video sharing, and event and activity planning as well as merit badge counselor information for troops. Scoutbook will not necessarily replace other unit management software your Scout unit might be using, but all units should start using Scoutbook since it is synchronized with the Scouting main membership database records.

We're constantly evaluating the value of these tools and adjusting the best we can with the resources available to us.
