TroopPlanner is organized around the things you actually do — planning a campout, signing off requirements, communicating with parents — not around database tables and reports you have to dig through.
🔒 SSL/TLS · per-troop schema isolation · encryption at rest · one-click data export
Most troop software forces you to think like a database admin — navigate to Reports, filter, export, cross-reference. TroopPlanner starts with the task and puts the right information right in front of you.
Here's how TroopPlanner thinks — every workflow starts with what you're trying to accomplish.
Patrol leaders and the troop guide pull RSVPs, gear status, and meal planning themselves. The campout wizard walks scouts through each stage so adults advise and scouts lead.
Lower ranks show Scout through First Class requirements. Upper ranks highlight leadership and merit badges. Eagle scouts see the specific MBs, leadership credit, and project status. The view highlights what each scout is working on now — so the SPL plans the meeting, not the adults.
Pull up their profile, tap the requirement, sign it — from your phone, in under 30 seconds. No laptop, no login screen to fight with.
Send announcements by email, target specific patrols or the whole troop. Families stay informed without joining another app or group chat.
The Court of Honor wizard finds every scout with unrecognized advancement — ranks, merit badges, and awards — organizes the ceremony, and tracks what's been presented.
The equipment board shows every item, who checked it out, and when it's due back. See what's overdue at a glance so nothing gets left behind.
TroopPlanner wasn't designed by a software company guessing at what troops need. It was built by an experienced Scoutmaster who got frustrated with every other tool getting in the way of running a great Scout program.
Settings → Exports.Each module is built around a job to be done — not a table to maintain.
Rank and merit badge progress for every Scout, with mobile sign-off workflows and BSA version-locking so no Scout ever loses their place in a requirement update.
RSVP collection, patrol meal planning, packing lists, and gear assignments — all tied to each event so nothing gets lost.
Email announcements to the whole troop or targeted patrols. Families stay informed without joining another app.
Automatically finds scouts with unrecognized advancement, organizes the ceremony, and tracks what's been presented — start to finish in minutes.
Track tents, stoves, and troop gear. See what's out, who has it, and when it's due back. Overdue items are flagged automatically.
Upcoming events, advancement status, the troop roster, merit badge counselors, and more — all from a phone-friendly interface that works offline.
Safeguarding Youth Training expiry tracking, two-deep leadership reminders, and activity approval logging keep your charter clean and your committee confident.
Full functionality from your phone — sign off requirements at the campfire, take attendance at the meeting, message parents from the parking lot.
Import your existing advancement, roster, and position data from Scoutbook CSV exports. No starting from scratch — your history is already there.
Looks good on all screens. Dark mode, light mode, reactive elements and in-line interactions — not clicking through several screens to get what you want.
Sorts by what ranks and positions mean: Star scouts next to Life scouts, not between Scout and Tenderfoot. Lists that make sense at a glance.
Helps scouts plan the annual calendar. Define recurring obligations — weekly meetings, monthly PLC, annual fundraiser, biennial Philmont — then get a month-by-month checklist so nothing gets forgotten.
Import district, school, or council calendar feeds. Families get a personal calendar feed for their events in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
Leadership notes from the SPL, Scoutmaster, and Committee Chair. Current announcements and upcoming events — all pulled together into one newsletter families actually read.
Pages are profile-tested for speed. Many operations don't require a page load — RSVP from the event list, assign a merit badge from the scout's advancement page, or sign off from the counselor list.
Modern SSL/TLS in transit, per-troop database schema isolation so one troop's data is never visible to another, encryption at rest for sensitive credentials (S3 keys, SFTP passwords), and regular dependency-vulnerability scans on every commit.
Built-in tools for Advancement Chair, Committee Chair, Equipment Coordinator, and Merit Badge Counselors — each role sees the workflows and data relevant to their responsibilities.
Scoutbook is built around national-level reporting. TroopPlanner is built around the Wednesday-night meeting and the Saturday campout — what your troop actually does.
