Our Troop uses Scoutbook primarily to do the following
- Schedule events
- Track all advancements
- Provide troop specific information.
It is the foundation for Parent-Leader-Scout communications. It is open to all parents/guardians with a scout that is active and to all scouts with that parent’s permission (Only the parent or guardian can authorize the scout to join Scoutbook, the troop admin does not have the ability to enable a scout)
It includes discussion forums and collaboration / interaction capabilities for Merit badge counselors and scouts work together in a safe manner. You can access and follow your scout’s progress for advancements and merit badges and keep current on the latest happenings by signing up.
You can access it from the Troop’s website Home page or go to http://scoutbook.com Once registered and linked to Troop 769, we can provide access to your scout’s record. For assistance please contact Webmaster@troop769.com
