I thought of this as a goal while at Wood badge training for scout leadership. At the time there wasnt anything on iTunes like it and so I scoped out the application and started the process of creation.
I believe it can help Scouts, Scout leadership, and Scout parents to understand the next action items the Scout needs to do to earn his next advancement.
If you think someone would like this application, please feel free to share with them.
Features:
- As many scouts as you want to enter
- Individual boy advancement tracking
- Adding merit badges for an individual scout
- Individual scout report saying what they still need to do
- Individual scouts accomplishments email.
- Group reports for age, rank, and merit badges. You can drill down in the reports to actually see which scout is what rank and then modify their record.
- Emails for scout committee meeting where it emails progress for any time frame you select.
- Email for individual scouts and group scouts
- Sharing data between devices that both have the application. (bluetooth or wifi)
- Adding merit badges in mass... if a bunch of scouts earn the same merit badge it allows you to select what scouts and what badge to assign.
- The ability to modify a completion date or reset it to incomplete.
- The ability to export to CSV. (Keep a backup in Excel)
- Add group advancements. (This one allows you to mark advancement requirements complete for large groups regardless of where a scout is. So a tenderfoot can complete a 1st class requirement. It will mark it as complete... with that said, you can’t view it till they have earned their 2nd class.)
- Dates on email reports
